Amy Janzwood investigates campaign coalitions that were formed to oppose two mega pipeline projects: the expansion of Trans Mountain, which was ultimately completed; and Northern Gateway, which was never built. Drawing on a wide array of documents and in-depth insider interviews with oil executives, senior government officials, coalition organizers, and lawyers, she analyzes the strategic alliances and tactics that have empowered - and attempted to thwart - these movements. Overall, \u003ci\u003eMega Pipelines, Mega Resistance\u003c\/i\u003e is an ambitious study that underscores the power of campaign coalitions to sustain resistance and shape government policy and industry practices. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Janzwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774872357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774872355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Amy Janzwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440534892799,"sku":"9780774872355","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_43252be9-02dd-4c20-ba41-d77cf1d955b5.jpg?v=1777183078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mega-pipelines-mega-resistance-amy-janzwood-9780774872355","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
