Résumé

In November 2000, Economic Development Canada gave the INRS a mandate to conduct a Comparative Overview and Monitoring Programme on peripheral economies. The program is structured around three axes. The first is comprised of a detailed statistical analysis in order to understand the spatial dynamic of the Canadian economy, with special attention given to the peripheral regions of Quebec and Atlantic Canada. The second focus is to examine specific peripheral regions of Quebec and Atlantic Canada with the goal of having a detailed understanding of the situation in these regions as well as needs, interventions and emerging practices related to economic development. The third axis is structured around an international comparative analysis. It is composed of two parts: 1) a workshop to take place in October 2001 attended by specialists of Scottish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish origin; 2) a preliminary review of the literature regarding economic development in the peripheral regions of these countries. The goal is to prepare a statistical portrait of these regions as well as to review the politicies that could influence regional development (INRS, 2000). This review will also serve as a preparatory document for the workshop. This document was prepared with these three axes in mind.
