Abstract

The staples theory posits that a country rich in natural resources tends to rely heavily on extracting its natural resources for exporting to markets. An exporting country as such is known as “hinterland” whereas the destination of the commodity goods is known as “heartland”. In the Canadian context, fur, fish, and timber served as good examples that lend support to the validity of the staples theory.

With the declining share of resource sectors relative to other components of the economy, the staples-dominant economies have undergone profound transformations. The significant changes in Canada's forestry sector illustrate the attenuation of the staples theory, particularly in the province of British Columbia. Resembling a “smorgasbord”, a new paradigm is emerging in Canada. Representing a new spirit, or Zeitgeist, of forest management in the 21st century, this new paradigm emphasizes managing forests to meet a dynamic set of socio-economic, environmental and cultural objectives.

从主食到大杂烩:21 世纪加拿大森林管理的时代精神
主食理论认为,自然资源丰富的国家往往严重依赖开采自然资源出口到市场。这样的出口国被称为 "腹地",而商品的目的地则被称为 "中心地带"。就加拿大而言,毛皮、鱼类和木材就是很好的例子,证明了主食理论的正确性。随着资源部门相对于其他经济组成部分的份额不断下降,以主食为主的经济体经历了深刻的转型。加拿大林业部门的重大变化说明了主食理论的衰减,尤其是在不列颠哥伦比亚省。加拿大正在出现一种类似于 "大杂烩 "的新模式。这一新模式代表了 21 世纪森林管理的新精神或时代精神,强调管理森林以实现一系列动态的社会经济、环境和文化目标。
