摘要

Geographic research has been used to gain a better understanding of the human and spatial dynamics of local economic development. In these studies methods of inquiry use both qualitative and quantitative analyses to describe patterns of development at a variety of scales from discreet households to the global marketplace. Old industrial regions like the Ohio River Valley provide a setting to examine recent shifts in industrial production, namely from manufacturing to services over the past 35 years. This restructuring period in American economic history has been one of significant social, political and economic change. Many small communities in old industrial regions have struggled during the restructuring period to maintain levels of economic production. Changes in local economies occurred along with changes in local social and political structures, and have required improvement and expansion in local infrastructure and services as communities struggle to counter the effects of macroeconomic forces.; Three case studies performed in this dissertation detail three different trajectories of local economic development and local social and political structures involved in economic decision-making. Local growth coalitions create strategies to improve the preconditions for development along these trajectories. In some cases strategies are accepted across a community, whereas in other cases competing strategies emerge, often creating local development conflicts. In the case of Jackson and Wellston, Ohio, a strong local coalition has developed strategies to increase the number of externally-owned firms and manufacturing jobs in the local area by increasing capacities in both physical infrastructure and services. In this case, preconditions for development have been achieved, however few jobs were created by their efforts. In the case of Nelsonville, Ohio competing local coalitions created a conflict over regional highway bypass, which threatens to take retail, and tourist business away from the town. Here investment opportunities were lost due to a lack of social cohesion. In the case of Dresden, Ohio a strong locally owned manufacturing firm, Longaberger Baskets, dominates local development decision-making. In this case the interests of local business people who benefit from secondary effects of Longaberger-based tourism and retailing are ignored, as a lack of local service improvements have significantly limited potential earnings.
