Sommario/riassunto

One of the goals of regional policies is to foster entrepreneurship and innovation in the nation's smaller and more remote communities. Policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in the Community Economic Development approach as a way of achieving this aim. In Entrepreneurship and Community Economic Development Monica Diochon examines the development processes adopted by two rural, single-industry Canadian communities confronting the collapse of their



economic bases. She argues that a community's effectiveness in influencing economic development depends on the extent to which entrepreneurship is encouraged and shows that, while a number of factors influence enterprise, economic activities that are community-determined and provide varied opportunities to participate in achieving short-term self-sustaining strategic outcomes are particularly important.

Sommario/riassunto

Cet article propose une conceptualisation de l'action syndicale à l'échelle des milieux de travail illustrée par le cas québécois. La construction du concept de logique représentative permet de cerner les fondements de l'action syndicale. Des résultats d'enquêtes de terrain, menées principalement dans le secteur manufacturier, sont utilisés pour décrire les changements à l'œuvre dans le champ des relations du travail. La description des conséquences de ces changements et l'analyse subséquente conduisent à proposer que la logique représentative traditionnelle des syndicats est ébranlée et qu'à terme,



c'est le sens de l'action syndicale qui en est altéré.
