Building Local Development Institutions in the Hinterland: A Regulationist Perspective from British Columbia, Canada

Abstract: This article examines the process of local development within the context of restructuring in hinterland British Columbia, Canada. The role of local development in the reconstruction of hinterland space is attracting considerable research attention, building upon an existing body of work from Canada and elsewhere, which is steadily refining our understanding of the local development process. Through a case study of two communities, this article seeks to enhance the theory–practice coordination of this work by … Show more

“…Such innovation not only grows from the density of local/regional interlinkages, but is further supported by a recursive commitment to learning and ongoing human capacity development (Florida, 1995;MacKinnon et al, 2002). Finally, a supportive institutional environment is critical for coordinating strategic intervention and advocating beyond jurisdictional boundaries The Struggle to Compete 25 (Amin 1999;Markey, 2005). Amin and Thrift (1994) refer to the concept of 'institutional thickness' to describe high levels of regional interaction with a commitment to being involved in a 'common project', thereby avoiding the consequences of negative competition and unleashing the development potential associated with collaborative governance.…”

“…This reactive, ad hoc approach is not likely to be successful, as development requires longevity, focus, consistency, and stable funding (Clemenson, 1992;Markey, 2005;McTieman, 1999;Polese & Shearmur, 2002).…”

“…Many are finding that pursuing new resource extraction industries as replacements is neither effective nor a long-term solution. These communities are attempting to find locally-based solutions that take into account the needs of economic, social, and ecological systems (Markey, 2005). Whereas growth for many communities occurred due to plentiful, high-paying jobs (Halseth, 1999a), communities are now looking at the importance of amenities and ecological integrity as ways to attract residents (Green, 2001;Wong, 2001).…”

“…However, just as in panarchy, CED strategies are strongly affected by the linkages smaller community systems have with larger systems, such as the provincial and federal governments (Bruce, 1991). In BC communities are severely restrained in what they can do by senior levels o f government (Markey, 2005;Markey et al, 2007;Young and Mathews, 2007). In the previous section discussing the role of hierarchies in the panarchy model, inputs from larger systems to smaller systems ( 'remember' in figure 3.5) was said to stabilize smaller systems, slow the pace of change, and provide resources for the reorganization (a) phase.…”
