Publication of a thesis on the construction of a moratorium on uranium exploration and exploitation in Quebec

Sabrina Bourgeois' master thesis is now available in the online thesis and dissertations' Collection of Université Laval. Based on the advocacy coalition framework, this thesis seeks to explain the Quebec government’s decision to suspend the certificates of authorization (in other words, to impose an administrative moratorium) in the uranium industry even though the most advanced project, the Matoush Project, received all the administrative authorization. By studying and comparing the mobilized coalitions on this issue and their influence on the successive governments, this research should bring a new light on neglected elements of analysis from the advocacy coalition framework. Sabrina Bourgeois is a student in political science under the direction of Thierry Rodon. Her thesis is available here (in French only).
