Transborder interactions in the sawmill industry of Chaudiere-Appalaches, Quebec: a survey analysis
2003
Straussfogel, D. | Howard, T. | Masse, S. | Zhang, D.
The objectives of this mail survey of sawmills in the Chaudiere-Appalaches region of southern Quebec were (1) to establish the level of transborder interaction of these sawmills, with regard to wood sources and final markets; (2) to discover their perceptions of local versus international economic and business factors with regard to their business success; and (3) to examine the role and importance of the size of the sawmills in Chaudiere-Appalaches relative to the nature of their engagement in either raw material import from or finished product export to the US. Our results demonstrate that a transborder forest economy exists and that the conception of "local" in transboundary regions must be flexible enough to permit resource management strategies, that, to some extent, ignore national boundaries.
