- The 80,000-word monograph resulted from four years of in-depth investigation into the oil industry of northern Alberta, Canada. It is based on the analysis of primary data from over thirty face-to-face ‘elite’ interviews with senior members of government, industry and indigenous groups in the province, gaining access to which was a six-month process. The monograph also draws on secondary analysis of over two decades of government policy, strategy and regulatory approval documents, along with fifteen years of Supreme Court of Canada decisions on indigenous rights, to understand how the industry has expanded under the justification of ‘sustainable development’.
