This book advances our understanding of resource-dependent regions in developed economies, exploring a range of geographical regions including Canada, USA, UK, Australia, and the Nordic countries. Resource production in remote, rural, and small town locations is certainly not new, and while change has always been a characteristic of these regions, the more rapid pace of transition and change for regions and economies through the contemporary global economy has been well underway for more than 30 years. How are we to understand these regions? How are we to understand the changes and transformations of their communities and economies? What elements in these changes reflect emergence, what elements reflect transition, and what elements reflect a continuity with the past? Where are the trajectories of change leading remote, rural, and small town resource-dependent regions? It is to these questions that this book is addressed.
