Bioregionalism and Civil Society: Democratic Challenges to Corporate Globalism, Mike Carr, Vancouver: UBC Press, 2004, pp. viii, 344.Civil society and environmental activists have gained recognition as strong forces of resistance to a common adversary—globalization. Considering this commonality of purpose, one might expect their links to be extensive and profound. But, as Mike Carr argues in this new book, this is not necessarily the case, or at least not to date. Carr, a Vancouver-based educator and activist in the social justice, peace and ecology movements, argues that there is strong, even transformational potential in forging greater links between civil society and bioregionalism.
