Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In resource-dependent boom and bust economies, accelerating change has been one of the defining attributes of rural community and economic development research. These patterns of change become more complex as rural stakeholders pursue new development pathways in efforts to diversify and strengthen the resiliency of their communities and economies. But what happens when nascent economic development initiatives are interceded by a renewed resource development? Using the concepts of regional waves and institutionalism, this research examines how civil, civic, and economic sector actors intersect to chart new development pathways in the remote mining town of Tumbler Ridge, BC Canada. We start with a review of Staples theory and the challenges for local and regional economies associated with dependency and truncated development. This is followed by the introduction of regional economic waves that are set against a context where communities, as a result of the neoliberal policy transition, are increasingly on their own to react to the pressures of change. With successive fluctuations in the coal mining sector, stakeholders in Tumbler Ridge have pursued new opportunities in a variety of sectors. We examine how these new economic development initiatives were either abandoned or strengthened by civil, civic, and economic stakeholders in the context of renewed mining activity. Keywords: institutionalism, staples theory, resource towns, boom-bust, place-based development Explorer de nouvelles voies de developpement dans une ville miniere eloignee: le cas de Tumbler Ridge, en Colombie Britannique, au Canada Resume: Dans les economies en expansion et en recession dependantes des ressources, l'acceleration du changement a ete l'un des facteurs determinants de la recherche sur le developpement economique et des communautes rurales. Ces modeles de changement deviennent plus complexes a mesure que les acteurs ruraux explorent de nouvelles voies de developpement afin de diversifier et de renforcer la resilience de leurs communautes et de leurs economies. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque les initiatives naissantes de developpement economique sont moderees par le developpement des ressources renouvelees? En utilisant les concepts de vagues regionales et d'institutionnalisme, cette recherche examine la facon dont les acteurs des secteurs civil, civique et economique se croisent pour tracer de nouvelles voies de developpement dans la ville miniere isolee de Tumbler Ridge, en Colombie-Britannique, au Canada. Nous commencons par un examen de la theorie des principales ressources et des defis, pour les economies locales et regionales, associes a la dependance et au developpement tronque. Viennent ensuite l’introduction de vagues economiques regionales dans un contexte ou les communautes, du fait de la transition de la politique neoliberale, sont de plus en plus seules a reagir face aux pressions du changement. Avec les fluctuations successives du secteur de l’extraction du charbon, les parties prenantes a Tumbler Ridge ont recherche de nouvelles opportunites dans divers secteurs. Nous examinons comment ces nouvelles initiatives de developpement economique ont ete abandonnees ou renforcees par les parties prenantes civiles, civiques et economiques dans le contexte de la reprise de l'activite miniere.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
