We develop a novel perspective on the interplay between causes and effects of resource policy (and more generally development strategy) at local level. We do this by deploying a theoretical framework built around both psychoanalytic notions and concepts from governance theory to analyze the evolution and the construction of futures in the Canadian mining community of the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. It is argued that the growth and decline of mining created social identities and governance features which severely hamper the articulation of alternative futures. The case study highlights the importance of collective trauma, both stemming from rapid development and decline, in the understanding of fantasy as it plays out in evolving governance, the understanding of replayed scenarios of hope and disillusion. The case analysis contributes to the broader discussion of path dependencies in community development by multiplying the potential effects of key events in the development of the community, beyond effects on conscious collective memory, beyond institutional structures and processes. Freud's foundational idea of nachtragligkeit, the potential of events to steer development in a direction but also to resurface much later in the manner of symptoms limiting reflexivity and adaptation, is thus given a translation at community level, with special implications for resource communities and policies.

我们对地方政策资源政策（更广泛地说是发展战略）的因果关系之间的相互作用提出了一种新颖的观点。为此，我们通过部署基于精神分析概念和治理理论概念的理论框架来分析加拿大艾伯塔省Crowsnest Pass采矿社区的演变和期货建设。有人认为，采矿业的增长和衰落创造了社会身份和治理特征，严重阻碍了另类期货的表述。案例研究突显了集体创伤的重要性，这既源于快速发展和衰落，还在于对幻想在不断演变的治理中发挥作用的理解，对重燃希望和幻灭情景的理解的理解。案例分析通过增加关键事件在社区发展中的潜在影响，对有意识的集体记忆的影响，制度结构和过程之外的影响，有助于对社区发展中路径依赖的更广泛讨论。弗洛伊德的基本思想因此，nachtragligkeit（事件可能引导一个方向发展，但又可能以限制自反性和适应性的症状的方式在很晚以后浮出水面）的潜力，在社区一级得到了翻译，对资源社区和政策具有特殊的意义。
