British Columbia is undergoing a transformation in both its forestry policy regime
and its regime governing aboriginal policy. Forestry policy has evolved from what once
was a closed network, dominated by the ministry of forests and the forestry industry, to a
more expansive network that includes a variety of interests. British Columbia's aboriginal
policy now recognizes the legitimacy of aboriginal claims to traditional territories, and has
correspondingly initiated a treaty negotiation process with B.C.'s First Nations.
A synthesis has emerged between aboriginal politics and the provincial forestry
regime in some parts of the province. Consequently, two independant policy sectors have
converged and this new policy phenomenon has been unexplored by political scientists.
Clayoquot Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, is an area at the forefront of
forestry policy development. This thesis, therefore, uses Clayoquot Sound as a case study
of sector convergence. In doing so, this thesis explains the phenomena of inter-sector
penetration and explores its consequences to policy theory. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate
