AbstractThis paper outlines and critically assesses some of the principal attempts to explain state law making in Canada in terms of its constitution as an advanced capitalist democracy. While generally retaining a conception of relative autonomy of the state, stress is laid on the fact that this can be no more than an heuristic approach. Because it cannot be known in advance whether specific conditions represent an authentic threat to capital reproduction and because interpretation of such conditions is a necessary part of the mobilisation of resistance to such conditions, the so-called limits to autonomy represent no more than a shorthand for politically invoked strategies of opposition by agents of capital. Moreover, focus on relative autonomy and the concept of limits focuses attention on the externalities of state agencies and constitutes these as distinct from the processes relativising state autonomy. The paper therefore works toward a conceptualisation of discursive and non-discursive practices which tend to generate capitalistic-reproductive actions by state agencies.

"A deepening understanding of the importance of climate change has caused a recent and rapid increase in the number of climate change or climate-related laws. Trends in Climate Change Legislation offers an astute analysis of the political, institutional and economic factors that have motivated this surge, placing it into context. By focusing the analysis on both developed and developing countries, the contributors offer an extensive exploration of climate change legislation, and how it has been enacted on a global scale. Vitally, they make the link between the international commitments under the Paris Agreement and their delivery at national level. Concluding that strong climate legislation is essential to give credibility to the pledges that countries made in Paris, this book identifies the key provisions that good climate laws should contain, and addresses factors that influence the passing of climate laws. This stimulating and informative book will be of particular interest to parliamentarians, policy makers and lawyers involved in areas of climate policy and environmental law. It will also appeal to students and researchers with an interest in climate change legislation"--Back cover
