In \u003cem\u003eFracking Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e, Heather Millar explains variation in Canadian provincial policy approaches, which range from pro-development regulation to moratoria and outright bans. Millar argues that although regulatory designs are shaped by governments' desires to seek out economic benefits or protect against environmental harms, policy makers' perceptions of said benefits and\/or harms are mediated through socially constructed narratives about uncertainty and risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFracking Uncertainty\u003c\/em\u003e offers in-depth case studies of regulatory development in British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Drawing on media analysis and interviews with government officials, industry representatives, academics, and environmental advocates, Millar demonstrates how risk narratives foster distinctive forms of learning in each province, leading to different regulatory reforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Millar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487552688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487552688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Heather Millar","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47611717878015,"sku":"9781487552688","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_730e8d9b-6a73-4f0d-af85-e2cb85009aa6.jpg?v=1764515614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fracking-uncertainty-heather-millar-9781487552688","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
