“…Two frameworks are used here: the global production network framework, and the manufacturing strategy framework. The global production network was developed by economic geographers (Henderson et al, 2002;Dicken, 2003) and is a familiar framework for social scientists (Reimer, 2007;Coe et al, 2008). It is used in this paper to analyze the social forces shaping the Heinz production network.…”

“…Building on research by geographers who have investigated the accelerating synergy between cultural logic and economic rationality (Mitchell 2004), a growing field of study has examined the production, consumption, and supply chains of cultural products as varied as music (Power and Jansson 2004), fashion (Reimer 2007), film (Christopherson 2002), furniture (Leslie and Reimer 2006), and food (Blay-Palmer and Donald 2006). This research often evaluates the role of the creative class (Stolarick and Florida 2006), artists (Markussen and Schrock 2006), and their contribution to local economic development strategies (Leslie and Rantisi 2011).…”

This article examines the evolving concept and practice of “cultural entrepreneurialism.” Drawing on interviews with community‐based organizations in francophone Manitoba, it extends research on “social entrepreneurialism” by investigating the increasing role played by ethno‐cultural organizations in community economic development. A thematic analysis reveals how community economic development has been adapted to historically—and geographically—grounded cultural and institutional legacies. The findings show how Franco‐Manitoban community organizations formulated a particular mix of social entrepreneurialism infused with cultural practice and upheld an expansive view of community economic development. Scholars need to consider how everyday cultural practices and ethno‐cultural territory influence how community‐based organizations engage in local economic development. Le développement économique communautaire et l'essor de l'entrepreneuriat ethnoculturel au Manitoba français Cet article s'intéresse au concept et à la pratique en évolution de « l'entrepreneuriat culturel ». Se fondant sur des entrevues menées auprès d'organismes communautaires du Manitoba français, l'article s'inscrit dans le prolongement des travaux de recherche en cours sur « l'entrepreneuriat social » en explorant le rôle grandissant joué par les organisations ethnoculturelles dans le développement économique communautaire. Une analyse par thème laisse entrevoir comment le développement économique communautaire a fait l'objet d'aménagements établis sur les bases historiques et géographiques du patrimoine culturel et institutionnel. Il en ressort que les organisations communautaires francophones du Manitoba ont pu mettre au point leur propre vision qui conjugue l'entrepreneuriat social à la pratique culturelle et ainsi défendre une perspective plus étendue du développement économique communautaire. Une des questions que les chercheurs doivent se poser est celle de l'influence que peuvent exercer les pratiques culturelles quotidiennes et le territoire ethnoculturel sur la manière dont les organisations communautaires se lancent dans le développement économique local.

“…Labour geography is an intellectual project that has developed since the 1990s in response to previous understandings in economic geography which privileged the role of capital in the production of economic space. It has constructed a critical academic space that encompasses economic geography, industrial geography and political economy; as such, it has garnered mention in various reports on these three respective subjects (see Reimer 2007; Wills 1999; Yeung 2002). Moreover, a number of reviews have recently emerged covering the labour geography literature (most notably, Castree 2007; Lier 2007; Mitchell 2005; Tufts and Savage 2009)—signaling, if nothing else, that the discipline is maturing 2…”

Forced to Concede: Permanent Restructuring and Labour's Place in the North American Auto Industry

The stunning decline of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler over the past decade has rendered the once "Big Three" US automakers a vulnerable "Detroit Three". In their attempts to return to profitability, the Detroit Three have undertaken a series of "turnarounds" aimed at renewing their competitive edge. Through this corporate restructuring agenda, 250,000 assembly jobs in North America have been lost, upwards of 50 auto plants have been closed, wages and benefits for new hires have been cut substantially and once strong, independent auto unions have been thoroughly overwhelmed. Permanent restructuring, then, represents a crisis strategy on the part of the corporate elite to continually intensify the demands placed on labour in the hopes of creating new conditions for capital accumulation. Working within labour geography, this paper documents the "regional race to the bottom" in the North American auto industry while reminding labour geographers that capitalist restructuring is a powerful constraint on labour agency.
