The State, Business, and Industrial Change in Canada
Author: Michael M. AtkinsonPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442655135
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The late twentieth century has seen profound changes in the character of the international economic order. According to the authors of this study, Canada has failed to come to terms with those changes. Our industrial policy is diffuse, ad hoc, and sectoral. Michael Atkinson and William Coleman argue that in order to analyse Canada’s industrial policy effectively, particular attention must be given to industry organization, state structures, and systems of interest intermediation at the sectoral level. To make such an analysis they introduce the concept of policy network, and apply it to three types of industrial sectors: the research-intensive sectors of telecommunications manufacturing and pharmaceuticals; the rapidly changing sectors of petrochemicals and meat processing; and the contracting and troubled sectors of textiles, clothing, and dairy processing. Through the lens of these sectors Coleman and Atkinson shed considerable light on the intersection of political considerations and policy development, and offer a new base on which to move forward in planning for economic growth.

Book Description
This paper describes the Alberta government's role in the development of SAGD, including the decision to prioritize the goal of in situ oilsands development and the process of innovation, culminating in successful testing of the technology. [...] I include the shifting attitude of both the conventional oil industry and the Alberta government toward the oilsands prior to development and the reasons for the shift. [...] CASE STUDY-EVOLUTION OF THE OILSANDS AND INDUSTRIAL POLICY IN ALBERTA The oilsands as a threat to the dominant conventional oil industry Prior to the oilsands' development, the "oil industry" in Alberta referred to the industry involved in the production of conventional oil. [...] Setting the goal of in situ technology development Two key events in 1971/1972 began to shift the positioning of both government and industry toward the oilsands: the decline in conventional oil reserves in Alberta and the election of Peter Lougheed to premier with a majority government in 1971, the first government change in 36 years. [...] As the association stated in its submission to the government: "In the matter of the oil sands development policy ... the most effective method of encouraging further development now available to the province, in the opinion of the association, is the establishment of a realistic royalty rate on bitumen" (Canadian Petroleum Association 1971).
