Hello,

Is there anything relevant in this book:

See Jim Playfoot & Phil Andrews, “Education and Training for the Oil and Gas Industry: Case Studies in Partnership and Collaboration. San Diego: Elsevier Inc, 2014.

Very best wishes,

Thanks Mary, I will indeed have a look. 

Best wishes,

Hi Trond,

You can have a look at Canadian literature, for both oil and mining. Depending on the perspective you are looking for, but I'm quite sure there are a couple of recent researches that can interest you (Québec, Newfoundland, British Columbia, ...)

Do you read French ?

Have a good day !

Hi Amèlie,

Thanks. I am looking for how local content within extractive industries is regulated, on what level, how it is practised and so on. Unfortunately, I dont read French.

Trond

The local content and stakeholders have difficulties being taken into account, in the regulation of extractive industries here, despite the growing social pressure to do so and the growing influence of notions as consultation, social acceptance, etc. There are some cases documented, for communities (and First Nation, with a different regulation framework).

We did a report on forest, fisheries and oil, last year, which underscore how the territorial level and stakeholders has difficulties having a strong place in the resources regulation processes. But unfortunately it's in French ... A paper is going to be submitted soon in English, but mainly on forest and fisheries : we are still working on the oil and mining sectors (should be in a readable state in a couple of months).

You can have a look at the work of Peter Sinclair and collegues (NFL) for oil, of Bonnie Campbell and Patricia Fitzgerald for mining. There is also recent work in Quebec, especially about mining, but mostly in French at the moment. For a global perspective of the regulation and the difficulties of territorial actors in Canada resource regulation, you can look at Hessing, Howlett and Summerville work.
