Working to publish an article with the UBC Undergraduate Journal of Political Studies was both a challenging and rewarding task, teaching me skills such as strong writing and editing skills through four rounds of proofreading. These skills enabled me to communicate the findings of my research into the results of privatizing environmental regulation to voluntary certification mechanisms, such as the Forestry Stewardship Council. I was able to concisely assert that this new governance system perpetuates global inequality and, in so doing, raise awareness for the counteractive global gap produced in a period of globalization.
