摘要自20世纪80年代初经济衰退以来，加拿大北方不列颠哥伦比亚省（BC）的社会、经济和政治面貌发生了巨大的变化。由此，人们逐渐认识到，必须从基于比较优势的经济转向具有竞争优势的经济。本文件是根据正在进行的区域研究编写的，其目的有两个。首先，我们应用农村透镜的区域规划和发展的文献，突出了竞争优势的重要性，作为一种工具，区域振兴。第二，我们通过探索在不列颠哥伦比亚省北方的非大都市环境中竞争优势的相关性和意义来增加这一对话。
Abstract The social, economic, and political landscape of northern British Columbia (BC), Canada, has undergone considerable transformation since a recession in the early 1980s. From this, there is an emerging recognition of the need to move from an economy based upon comparative advantage to one embracing competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper, drawn from ongoing regional research, is twofold. First, we apply a rural lens to the regional planning and development literature, which highlights the significance of competitive advantage as a tool for regional rejuvenation. Second, we add to this dialogue by exploring the relevance and meaning of competitive advantage in the non-metropolitan setting of northern BC.
