Résumé
Why does economic growth persist as a primary policy objective of nation states that is pursued and overwhelmingly supported?Accumulating evidence indicates that after a certain point economic growth does not contribute to social wellbeing, and undermines global ecological integrity.The persistence of economic growth as a primary policy objective is a paradox.This paradox is an important research gap that demands explanation.Explaining this paradox is important because, unless we are able to explain why growth persists, policies cannot enable humanity to live in harmony with this finite Earth.The overarching purpose of this thesis is to explain the paradox of growth in Canadian federal politics.The study has four specific objectives: (1) to map the dominant belief system in Canadian federal politics 1867-2017, and show how the persistence of economic growth as part of that system is a paradox; (2) to develop a conceptual framework to understand how society and nature coevolve, and the role of belief systems in that coevolving relationship; (3) to use this framework to explain the persistence of economic growth in Canadian federal politics; and (4) to identify barriers and opportunities for how Canada can move towards an ecologically sustainable economy and ways of life.First, I use Canadian political manifestos (party platforms) to map the dominant belief system in Canadian federal politics 1867-2017, and to show how the evolution of ideas about economic growth and the environment is a paradox.This part reveals a surprising result: that Canadian political leaders have questioned growth much more than was previously thought, especially under the tenure of P.E.Trudeau during the 1970s.Second, I propose and develop a coevolutionary explanation for the paradox of growth in Canadian politics.I propose the novel Emergent Coevolutionary Framework, an integrative way to understand society-nature relationships that is grounded in critical realism.Next, I demonstrate in detail how this conceptual framework explains the story of growth in Canadian politics as a coevolutionary sequence of settled and unsettled times.Third, I provide a deeper analysis of settled and unsettled times to identify how Canada can move towards an ecologically sustainable economy and ways of life.Using extensive archival sources, I analyze Canadian politics of the environment and the economy during the critical period 1970-1982 as an example of an unsettled time.I show how Canada was at the forefront of environmental thinking and action in the 1970s, and identify the barriers and I would like to express my deep gratitude to Professor Peter G. Brown who introduced me to new ways of understanding the world and who supported me throughout this journey.His ideas, insight, and example provided much inspiration.I am indebted to Professor Jim Fyles, without whose supervision and support this research would not have been possible.He often surprised me with a question or comment that brought clarity or
