‘Globalizing’ Northern British Columbia: What's in a Word?
[Article]
/ Paul Bowles
7731-1474
Resourcedependent regions have long been integrated into global markets. But while integration with global markets has been a long process, it is one which has undergone continual change and been subject to numerous phases. This is evident in the case of northern British Columbia, a resourcedependent region known for its exports of lumber, fish, metals, coal, oil, and gas. Currently, the region is experiencing a new phase of globalization as the importance of Asia, and China in particular, grows. This new push for global integration in a geographical area which has long been shaped by global economic forces invites analysis. I argue that it is useful to distinguish between two distinct meanings of globalizing. The first is globalizing as an adjective, as a descriptor of increasing global economic integration and measured by trade and numerous phases. The second is as a verb, with agents actively globalizing the region through a distinct set of actions and policies. The paper demonstrates how the two meanings of globalizing lead to quite different interpretations of the same historical periods. The paper therefore contributes to our conceptual understanding of the multiple meanings of globalization and demonstrates more precisely how one resourcedependent region is globalizing.
