The environmental impact assessment (EIA) is an internationally utilized tool that is applied to inform decision makers of the environmental effects of industrial, commercial, and municipal undertakings (among other human activities); beyond this, EIAs provide a knowledge base for similar undertakings in the future. Using scholarly literature on the topic and regulatory framework references, this paper examines the expectation, reality, and divergence of three key themes in the given report with the aim of gauging its performance as an example of a modern EIA. Based on the report’s commitment to monitoring and follow-up, cumulative effects assessment, and social impact assessment, the Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Modifications to the Petitcodiac River Causeway performs very strongly in light of academic criticisms of typical Canadian EIA practices.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133790558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, with new opportunities come new challenges. In 2012, public libraries faced many challenges when the Big Six publishers (Macmillan, Hachette, HarperCollins, Penguin, Random House, and Simon & Schuster) made abrupt and drastic changes to their policies, restricting libraries’ access to the ebooks they publish. This paper explores the positions of the major stakeholders involved in this policy issue: publishers, public libraries, library patrons, authors, and booksellers. The emerging roles of small publishers and self-publishers are discussed, along with effects of the policy changes, current initiatives to resolve the issue, and the future outlook.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129190249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While biodiversity conservation has been predominantly understood as a neutral and ahistorical objective, a critical perspective reveals that a range of power relations inform its definitions and processes. Further, the spaces in which conservation efforts are undertaken are vulnerable to reproducing inequalities of the larger society in which they are situated. I establish biodiversity conservation in Kruger as an environmental justice issue and frame the discussion regarding communities near the Park within the categories of (a) land ownership and resource use, (b) community participation in park management and decision-making, and (c) justly shared economic and socio-cultural benefits. While improvements have occurred, the maintenance of Kruger requires integrating an environmental justice perspective to its programs and a more meaningful partnership with surrounding marginalized communities to ensure equitable use and benefits of the Park.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129972382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an essential step in moving towards a system of decentred collaborative metagovernance to meet the demands of a rapidly changing governance structure, but a policy is only as good as its likelihood of successful implementation. Utilizing the implementation assessment framework of Mazmanian and Sabatier (1981), this paper explores the chances for successful implementation of the Open Dialogue activity stream, concluding that the primary impediment is the structure of the Westminster system. The government’s response to this impediment will determine their role in the burgeoning new governance system.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127571393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The long-running BBC series Doctor Who, by nature of its longevity, presents the opportunity to investigate evolving attitudes towards emerging information technology. This paper analyzes three serials from the original run of Doctor Who and traces the development in the show's portrayal of the future of information technology (IT) from 1967 to 1975. I argue that early portrayals of futuristic information societies, in serials such as “The Wheel in Space” and “The Seeds of Death,” take a mainframe-oriented view of IT's future and present a centralized, technocratic conception of the governments of the future. I conclude that the 1976 serial “The Deadly Assassin” dramatically reverses these earlier portrayals, demonstrating a perceptive awareness of the dawning of the microcomputer revolution and presenting a cynical take on the potential of technological advancement to lead to technocratic utopia.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122975466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role the Internet played in fomenting activism against authoritarian governments on the Arabian Peninsula has been explored at length in the popular media in both the West and the East, with various reports either overstating or underrating its importance. The contribution of the Internet to the events of the Arab Spring has led to support of the idea that open access and a free Internet is necessarily a force for good. This paper contests that idea, exploring examples that highlight the dangers in believing it. While the ability of social media to reach large audiences in short periods, and allow them to not only view information, but contribute to it, influenced the quick spread of the Arab Spring, this was a feature of the uprisings, and not the cause of them.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131047188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges are further exasperated as the need for social services increases and governments continue to download more responsibility to non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations need to collaborate with one another in order to overcome these challenges and address society’s complex problems. Benefits of collaboration include the ability to share knowledge, skills and training and reduce redundancy in efforts, which would in effect increase the overall capacity of an organization and its attractiveness to funders. Challenges to collaboration involve building trust, communication and identifying common objectives and goals. However, this paper proposes that collaboration is possible in the Nova Scotia non-profit sector, through careful design in the preliminary stages of initiation and a focus on building trust and relationships. As such, a unified non-profit sector can be the solution to issues of sustainability currently being faced by these organizations.","PeriodicalId":430243,"journal":{"name":"Dalhousie Journal of Interdisciplinary Management","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130247243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
