Winner of the 2002/3 Donner Prize, this book
introduces new research on social capital and wellbeing
and applies it to key issues facing individuals
and governments in the age of globalization. John
Helliwell looks at the latest evidence about the

BRENDA AND DAVID MCLEAN CANADIAN STUDIES SERIES
While governments assert that Canada is
a world leader in sustainability, Unnatural Law
refutes this claim. A comprehensive assessment
of the strengths and weaknesses of Canadian
environmental law, the book provides a critical
examination of Canada’s record, focusing on laws
and policies intended to protect water, air, land, and
biodiversity. David Boyd outlines innovative changes
in laws and policies that Canada must implement
in order to respond to the ecological imperative of
living within the Earth’s limits.

LAW AND SOCIETY SERIES
A Trading Nation
Canadian Trade Policy from
Colonization to Globalization
Michael Hart
Making Native Space
Colonialism, Resistance, and
Reserves in British Columbia
R. Cole Harris
Shortlisted for the Donner and Dafoe awards
and the Smiley Prize, this bold and original study
is a tour de force, evocative of Harold Innis’s and
Donald Creighton’s pioneering works in the history
of the nation. Hart’s experience as an active trade
negotiator is reflected throughout this accessible
and lively book. A Trading Nation is destined to
become a classic of Canadian historical, economic,
and political studies.

As the first comprehensive account of the reserve
system in British Columbia, the book is an important
contribution to regional history, the history of
aboriginal-white relations, and colonialism. Perhaps
most unexpectedly, because it puts aboriginal-white
relations in the context of the federal-provincial
wrangling that has shaped the Canadian political
landscape since 1867, it also manages to breathe
new life into an old historical chestnut.
