“…The role of the state in coupling/decoupling/recoupling efforts is crucial and is reflected in the growing interest of economic geographers to understand the regional development outcomes of various state policies in the context of GPNs (e.g. Dawley et al., 2019; Horner, 2017; Rutherford et al., 2018; Smith, 2015; Werner, 2020). State's bargaining powers with TNCs have decreased mainly due to FDI liberalization, the World Trade Organization's multilateral rules and obligations on investment policies, and bilateral investment treaties (e.g.…”

This article focuses on the long-term effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) in less developed regions (LDRs). It identifies different types and mechanisms of FDI in more developed regions (MDRs) and LDRs, which lead to different regional development outcomes. It critically evaluates the most important approaches to FDI in LDRs developed in economic geography, namely the branch plant economy and truncation, new regionalism, new international division of labor and spatial divisions of labor, and global production networks. In the long run, FDI tends to benefit MDRs more than LDRs. The article calls on economic geographers to continue the research on FDI in the context of uneven development.

“…He is not alone among comparative methodologists (Hantrais, 1999) in implying that the most ‘deep’ forms of research achieve understanding at the cost of making the actual act of cross-national comparison difficult or impossible (p. 95). This is a real problem, that we have both encountered separately: an attempt at deep comparison becomes, in published form, a single country study which is only implicitly comparative, given the difficulties involved in presenting structures and actor strategies in different societies as ‘comparable enough’ for comparison to work (Connolly, 2010; Rutherford et al, 2017).…”

We offer a defence of, and framework for, comparative research in industrial and employment relations, based on a long-term engagement with the social contexts under study. We locate ‘slow’ research strategies in relation to predominant approaches and establish a number of basic precepts of slow comparativism as a practical methodological approach. We aim to provoke a discussion among those conducting comparative research on work and employment about how truth claims are generated. We also seek a basis by which those conducting slower forms of comparativism, through what we term ‘implicit ethnographies’, can find better ways of developing and defending their modes of research within an often hostile academic political economy.

“…Quebec had many development institutions, most notably, the Caisse de depot et de placement that promoted the development of the province’s public and private sectors. It made investments in domestic capital when faced with foreign takeovers (Rutherford et al : 579). Intermediary organizations are also important because they contribute to develop relational capital and knowledge to foster innovation in firms (Tremblay : 19).…”

“…Finally, state enterprises played a major role in Quebec: Hydro Quebec is the most important of these and central to policy development. Ontario’s development ministry was smaller and lacked the regional and sectoral differentiation of Quebec’s, or analogous forums (Haddow : 195‐96; Rutherford et al : 579; Latouche , Gertler and Wolfe ; Wolfe and Gertler ).…”

This article examines the relationship between local government economic development policy and multilevel governance, and investigates whether multilevel governance can be effectively implemented in key sectors, using two case studies of the aerospace and fashion sectors. This article seeks to answer the following questions: What inhibits the formation of multilevel collaborative governance institutions in these sectors? What implications does this have for urban economic development policy for the City of Toronto, and by extension, other cities across Canada? The case study evidence suggests that these institutions are forming in other cities such as Montreal and contributing to their success. So why is Toronto different?Sommaire : Cet article a pour but d'étudier la relation entre la politique de développement économique du gouvernement local et la gouvernance multi-niveaux et d'examiner si l'approche de gouvernance à plusieurs niveaux peut être mise en oeuvre efficacement dans des secteurs clés, en s'appuyant sur deux études de cas dans les domaines de l'aérospatial et de la mode. L'article vise à répondre aux questions suivantes : Qu'est-ce qui entrave la création d'institutions à plusieurs niveaux de gouvernance collaborative dans ces secteurs? Et quelles en sont les implications pour la politique de développement économique urbain pour la Ville de Toronto, et par extension, d'autres villes à travers le Canada? Les éléments probants de l'étude de cas indiquent que ces institutions se forment dans d'autres villes comme Montréal et contribuent à leur succès. Ainsi, pourquoi la Ville de Toronto est-elle différente?
