The perspective of political economy on environmental regulation, and environmental policy as science policy are themes of other recent publications (“Transformational Economics and the Public Good”, Springer, 1984; and “Science, Politics and Science Policy in Canada: Steps towards a Renewed Critical Inquiry”, Journal of Canadian Studies, 2003). Current research is organized around the theme of reflexive environmentalism.
