Regime of Obstruction: How Corporate Power Blocks Energy Democracy

[James Rowe]

Dear All,

I hope all is as well as can be. I wanted to alert you to a new edited volume that might interest you, Regime of Obstruction: How Corporate Power Blocks Energy Democracy

You can buy a print version of the book from UBC Press, but the entire volume is open access in a very accessible format. 

The book is reporting on findings from the Corporate Mapping Project (CMP), a partnership of academics and community-based researchers working to map the power of the carbon extractive sector (with a particular focus on Canada).

The CMP is also hosting a free digital conference in June, featuring speakers Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, Eriel Deranger, Joel Bakan and others. Panels include a webinar on investigative research skills and one on decolonizing research and climate policy. Please feel free to share this information with your networks. 

All the best,

James

I acknowledge with respect the Lekwungen-speaking peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day. The process of colonization is ongoing as are resistances to it. My intention is that the research and teaching I do be in the service of decolonization.
