Part One: Dispossession at Home
From: Capitalism and Dispossession
$2.50
In Chapter 3, author Aedan Alderson reflects on the role of dispossession in Canada’s land use planning industry by drawing on case studies that highlight the techniques, processes, and precedents that are used by the Canadian state to guarantee corporate access to Indigenous lands and resources. Topics discussed in this chapter include how the Canadian state supports land use planners in roles that entail unilateral control over Indigenous land, land use planning policies, collaboration with Indigenous nations, the state’s dependency on supporting corporate capitalism to secure its own recognition and stability in global economics and politics, and unilateralism between states and corporations.
