* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development"]]: [[Staple theory]] is around diversification of an export base. Its [[backward linkages]] measure dependencies in the region - a restaurant purchasing local food and labour. [[Forward linkages]] measure output sold to other regional sectors. [[Demand linkage]] is a measure of how much investment in regional industry produces goods for consumption, investment or government purhcase by the export sector. [[clarify]] [[Leakage]] measures income flows leaving a community, for example through migratory workers, external input purchases, or externally owned enterprises. Linkages are multiplied by domestic production, and [[supply side]] expansion in labour, capital, entrepeneurship, and complementary input (eg technology).

* From [[Shared Space - Chapter 4 - Supporting Sustenance]]: [[Local governance can focus on complex, long term plans, whereas communities must focus tactically due to lack of resources while using created governance.]] Coordination mechanisms, and comprehensive community initiatives, that encourage collaboration within integrated clusters of actions, government and the private sector, are required.
* From [[Transforming or Reforming Capitalism - Chapter 3 - Lamb "Towards an Economic Theory of Community Economic Development"]]: To be price competitive, a CED must either increase scale and export or use subsidization by the public sector. Increased exports may result in a loss of self reliance, whereas subsidies benefit projects with backward and final demand linkages. Subsidy benefits are enhanced when mulitple projects are subsidized.

* From [[Shared Space Chapter 2 - Organizing for complexity]]: New leadership style are required to integrate different sectors. They must focus on relationships, constantly integrating new participants in a "[[leading between]]" style rather than pursuading followers and focusd on collaborative relationships using mutual respect rather than authority.
* From [[Shared Space Chapter 1 - Reaching for Resilience]]: The concept of clusters originated in research in the [[Date::1960s]], with [[Michael Porter]]'s [[Date::1990s]] sector-based form, focused on geography, informal relationships, and supporting institutions. In the communities agenda framework, the social dimension of communities is the result of related geographic clusters that are synergistic networks of activity, which thrive due to proximity.
