\u201cFrom Personal Responsibility to an Eco-Socialist State: Political Economy, Popular Discourses, and the Climate Crisis<\/a>\u201d was published in the Sage journal Human Geography<\/em> and looks at how Canadians think about the crisis, and what can be done to move toward a more environmentally friendly future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study builds upon research from Flanagan\u2019s major research paper completed as part of her MA degree in health policy and equity, at the Faculty of Health\u2019s School of Health Policy and Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the authors\u2019 review of different ways of resolving the crisis, the paper concludes that averting a catastrophe will require gaining public control over energy policy and countering the power and influence of fossil-extracting industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn theory, this could be accomplished through existing policy instruments, but in reality, it may require the establishment of a post-capitalist eco-socialist state,\u201d says Raphael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
