"In a cogent examination of Canada's environmental policy performance, The Integrity Gap demonstrates how Canada's configuration of political and economic institutions has limited environmental policy effectiveness. Canadian environmental institutions, the authors argue, have produced an integrity gap, where the sustainability rhetoric adopted by policy makers fails to achieve concrete results. In an analysis that penetrates several policy domains and combines various disciplinary, sectoral, and geographical perspectives, the authors effectively demonstrate how Canada fell from leader to laggard within the international environmental community during the 1990s." "This book makes a significant contribution to existing policy scholarship, placing the study of Canadian environmental policy within an institutional framework of analysis. It will find an enthusiastic audience among political scientists, policy analysts, environmental specialists, urban and regional planners, and students at both undergraduate and graduate levels."--Jacket.
