Sustainability And Canada's National Parks: Suitability For Policy, Planning And Management, Stephen William Boyd
Sustainability And Canada's National Parks: Suitability For Policy, Planning And Management, Stephen William Boyd
Digitized Theses
As a term, sustainability has often come to be adopted as the 'panacea' for many problems without any clear understanding that the solutions will vary given the nature of the problem, the scale involved and the goals and objectives set out. As a result, what has emerged in the literature has been many different 'pictures' of sustainability, all of which may be relevant in certain contexts. This research examined the potential of the concept within the context of Canadian national parks. Emphasis was directed toward understanding, through the perceptions of 'expert' groups knowledgeable about parks, the key elements needed to …

Canada's Multinationals: A Study In Outward Foreign Direct Investment, Stephen Paul Meyer

However, there is a substantial lack of systematic research on the movement of tourists between divided partitioned states. …

Salmon Aquaculture In Shetland And New Brunswick: A Comparative Study Of Resource Regimes Within A Moral Perspective, Craig Fergus Millar
Digitized Theses
Development is a process of transformation within and among decision-making institutions. The oceans are a commons; the necessary institutions for resource management are organized within nation-state regimes and community-based regimes.;A morality is a framework of ethics governing participation in institutions and associated regimes. As social institutions, technology and property are moralities. Aquaculture, as new technology requiring the establishment of private property rights in a commons, is a development especially sensitive to the moral dimension.;Salmon aquaculturists in Shetland and New Brunswick use the same technology and exhibit very similar production profiles. Salmon farmers in Shetland have established themselves within a property …
