He is also a contributing co-editor of the book Writing Off the Rural West: Globalization, Governments, and the Transformation of Rural Communities (2001), and co-producer of the two-hour documentary, “The Canadian Clearances,” which was first broadcast on CBC Radio’s Ideas programme in September 2004. Dr. Epp is a frequent media commentator and speaker on rural issues. He is also a co-editor of the textbook Braving The New World: Readings in Contemporary Politics, and has published extensively on the subject of international relations theory.
