State Corporations and Resource Based Development in Quebec, Canada: 1960-1980
研究了1960-1980年间魁北克省在林业、矿业和石油领域的国有企业如何参与基础设施和生产,以促进本地企业、资源开采和“经济解放”,并分析了区域与国际投资、意识形态和经济民族主义的复杂关系。
A case study of state corporations in the forestry, mining, and petroleum sectors in resource frontier regions reveals the extent of state involvement in infrastructure and production in Quebec. The intention of government corporations was to encourage Quebec enterprise, to promote resource extraction in hinterland regions, and to contribute to the ''economic liberation'' of Quebec, as part of a regional policy of ''maitres chez nous.'' A complex set of relationships involving regional and international investments, ideology, and economic nationalism are discussed for the period 1960-1980. It is concluded that the state has become an integral part of regional development in selected resource frontier regions in Quebec.
