“…The city's executive branch, its administration, and the city's non-profit organizations all have little contact with one another" (Jones-Correa, 1998, p. 20). Initially, the idea of the LACDB raised hopes that the organization could draw on the strengths of each sector, while increasing the voice of neighborhood leaders and organizations (Andranovich & Riposa, 1998) (see also Hula, Jackson, & Orr, 1997).…”

In response to the 1992 Los Angeles riots, the federal government, city and county officials, commercial banks and community leaders established the nonprofit Los Angeles Community Development Bank (L ACDB). This public-private partnership was a new development model, designed to spur economic growth in some of Los Angeles' most disadvantaged areas. The L ACDB was capitalized with $435 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and ranks as the federal government's largest inner-city lending initiative. By January 2001, however, the bank had experienced unacceptably high losses and was seeking permission to continue operations, after reducing its staff by half and closing most of its offices. This article examines why this innovative publicprivate economic development partnership confronted such difficulties. Public-private partnerships continue to be an important vehicle for urban economic development. This case study provides a warning of potential pitfalls that can occur from such arrangements.

In recent years, we have witnessed an increase in the role and influence of nonprofit organizations in local and regional policy decisions. Often, these organizations assume a quasi-governmental role in pursuit of their missions. Roles of coalition builder and policy initiator/formulator join more traditional roles of service provider and policy advocate. These emerging roles forge new relationships between the nonprofit, for-profit, and public sectors. In Detroit, there is evidence that nonprofit organizations such as New Detroit and Detroit Renaissance can play a role in redefining the local political agenda. Yet that role is severely limited if such organizations are not tied to public authority.

“…Kantor, Savitch et Haddock ont raffiné cette définition en proposant une typologie reposant sur trois critères : la position par rapport au marché, les inter relations des acteurs de l'économie privée avec les institutions gouvernementales et la participation citoyenne à la vie démocratique 32 . L'application de cette typologie illustre la domination du corporatisme et de l'élitisme dans les processus de développement urbain aux États-Unis, d'où la nécessité de redéfinir des coalitions larges et inclusives, nécessité signalée d'ailleurs par plusieurs auteurs 33 .…”

Ce texte analyse la part du territoire dans la régulation des sociétés à partir d’une approche basée sur le local. Il examine la place du local dans le préfordisme, le fordisme et le postfordisme. Le texte montre que le local a un rôle instituant comme conséquence de la crise de l’État-nation en tant qu’échelle unifiée de régulation sous le fordisme. L’espace local génère des identités, crée des liens sociaux et a un effet systémique, ce qui explique l’existence de trajectoires de régulation différenciées à l’intérieur d’une société. Ces trajectoires peuvent aussi innover en fonction de l’initiative locale des acteurs. Un modèle pour interpréter le rôle de l’initiative locale est proposé. Selon ce modèle, l’identité locale amène les acteurs socioéconomiques à construire des codes institutionnels spécifiques. Ceci explique l’existence de modes localisés de régulation imbriqués dans un système de régulation et de gouvernance global et multiscalaire.This paper addresses the role that territory plays in social regulation putting the emphasis onto the local space. It analyzes the place of the local in the pre fordist, the fordist and the post fordist regulation. The text shows that the local scale plays an institutional role as a consequence of the crisis of the Nation State based fordist regulation. Local spaces generate specific identities, create social ties and have systemic effects, which explain the existence of differentiated institutional paths within a society. These paths can be innovative as the result of local actors' initiatives. A model is proposed as a tool to a better understanding of local initiative effects. According to this model, since socio-economic actors share a common local identity, they build specific institutional codes which explain the existence of localized modes of regulation embedded in a global and multiscalar system of regulation and governance.Este artículo analiza el papel jugado por el territorio en la regulación social. La perspectiva del análisis se concentra en el espacio local. El texto examina la importancia de lo local en el contexto del prefordismo, del fordismo y del postfordismo. Se muestra que la escala local juega un papel instituyente a causa de la crisis del Estado-nación en tanto que escala unificada de regulación fordiste. El espacio local genera identidades específicas creando de esta manera lazos sociales y teniendo por lo tanto un efecto sistémico. Esto explica la existencia de trayectorias locales de regulación, las cuales pueden innovar como consecuencia de iniciativas locales. Se propone un modelo para interpretar el efecto de estas iniciativas locales. Según este modelo, la convergencia de identidad territorial lleva a los actores locales a construir códigos institucionales específicos. Esto explica le existencia de modos locales de regulación, los cuales se insertan en un sistema de regulación y de gobernanza global y multiescalar
