SSHRC Awarded PG 2015. Lead institution is the University of Victoria. UAlberta's Parkland Institute is a partner in the project. The intensifying development of Western Canada's fossil fuel resources has far-reaching implications for our economic and ecological wellbeing, the acceleration of global climate change, and the rights and title of Aboriginal peoples. Extractive corporations play a central role in decision-making about how we manage these resources---yet the industry's evolving organization and reach are not well understood, nor are they easily visible to citizens or other key publics. 'Mapping the Power of the Carbon-Extractive Corporate Resource Sector' brings academic researchers, civil society organizations, and Aboriginal participants together to study corporate influence in a sector central to global and Canadian political economies and ecologies.
