The political economy of environmental regulatory policy : the case of Come By Chance
The intent of this research is to evaluate the implementation of environmental regulatory policy governing industry in Newfoundland generally and in the specific case of the Come By Chance oil refinery. Since effective regulation of industrial pollution is important to both human health and ecologic...
