Its authors examine Alberta’s neo-liberal environmental regulation, institutional adaptation to petro-state imperatives, social movement organizing, Indigenous responses to extractive development, media framing of issues, and corporate strategies to secure social license to operate. Importantly, they also discuss policy alternatives for political democratization and for a transition to a low-carbon economy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe volume’s conclusions offer a critical examination of petro-state theory, arguing for a comparative and contextual approach to understanding the relationships between dependence on carbon extraction and the nature of political regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures \u003cbr\u003eList of Tables and Appendices \u003cbr\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Ecology and Governance in a First World Petro-State \u003cbr\u003eLAURIE E.
