Reviews

Jean Mercier, Universite Laval:

The challenge in this type of work is to weave together the theory and the facts of the cases in both an enlightening and interesting way. Doug Macdonald succeeds in meeting this challenge in this ‘must’ book for anyone interested in environmental policy in Canada; those interested in business-government relations generally will also find much food for thought.

G. Bruce Doern, School of Public Policy and Administration:

This is an important and probing analysis and is without doubt the definitive book on business and environmental politics and policy in Canada.

Kathryn Harrison, University of British Columbia:

Macdonald's study of business-government relations addresses an important gap in the Canadian environmental policy literature. The historical case studies offer a nuanced picture of the diverse interests and strategies of the Canadian business community that challenges the current enthusiasm for 'corporate social responsibility.
