This title was first published in 2002. Bringing together a wide
range of theoretical and empirical case studies from Canada, New
Zealand, South Korea, Turkey, China, Germany, Spain, Sweden,
Poland, South Africa, Japan, The Netherlands and the United
Kingdom, this book addresses these neglected issues, in particular,
contemplating the vitally important nexus between industry,
environment and the knowledge economy.Throughout the book, four key
themes and issues are explored: institution building strategies;
agglomeration as territorial context; sustainable
industrial-environmental processes and policy initiatives;
globalization, learning and industrial location dynamics. The book
concludes with an outline of future research directions within the
paradigm.

British Columbia's forest economy is at a crucial crossroads. Its
survival, Roger Hayter argues, rests on its ability to remain
flexible and open to innovation - a future by no means assured
given recent policy initiatives and the current contested nature of
British Columbia's forests. Flexible Crossroads looks at the
contemporary restructuring of British Columbia's forest economy,
demonstrating how both resource dynamics - the transition from old
growth to managed forests - and industrial dynamics - changing
technology and global market forces - have shaped this
transformation. Conceptually, the restructuring is portrayed as a
shift from a commodity-based, cost-minimizing production system
(Fordism) to a more product-differentiated, value-maximizing
production system informed by the imperative of flexibility.
