Abstract

We turn to the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador and its continuous reorganization of governance, its series of shocks, ambitions of reinvention and development to analyze the risks associated with Great Reset-style ambitions. We coin the concept of the local paradox: grand schemes need input from and implementation at a local level and this requires local governance to be autonomous, legitimate and to have the institutional and cognitive capacities, as well as the resources, to fulfill these roles. On the other hand, these requirements can entirely derail top-down ambitions. Currently, existing local governance might not be interested in transformation into more empowered political entities capable of contributing to greater collective goals. We suggest ways out of this conundrum, arguing for a strict avoidance of ideological tropes and false oppositions.

大政策计划中的地方悖论。纽芬兰和拉布拉多的经验教训
我们以加拿大的纽芬兰和拉布拉多省及其持续的治理重组、一系列冲击、重塑和发展的雄心为例,分析与“大重置”式雄心相关的风险。我们提出了地方悖论的概念:宏伟的计划需要地方层面的投入和实施,这就要求地方治理是自治的、合法的,并具有履行这些角色的制度和认知能力,以及资源。另一方面,这些要求可能会完全破坏自上而下的目标。目前,现有的地方治理可能没有兴趣转变为能够为更大的集体目标作出贡献的更有权力的政治实体。我们提出了解决这个难题的方法,主张严格避免意识形态的比喻和虚假的反对。

期刊介绍: The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
