We want to encourage readers to think about Clayoquot as a site where they can explore features of politics that are characteristic of almost any neighborhood in the world, whether as "near" as the Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington, or the skid row of Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, or as "distant" as the office towers of Hong Kong or the villages of the Philippines. [...] A full list of the documents and an explana- tion of the referencing system for them are provided in the "Research Guide" at the end of this book.) Virtually all the primary material that our contributors have drawn upon is in The Clayoquot Docu- ments. [...] Andrew Ross created the Clayoquot DataBase, collected most of the material for the Clayoquot Archive, and sustained the project office dur- ing the summers of 1996 and 1997. [...] The state as we know it is a obvious form of containment, in that it separates the politics of one country from the politics of another, but also in the sense that it confines politics to the business of government and puts other kinds of business—economic, social, cultural, environmental, scientific, spiritual, familial, personal—on the other side of a bar. [...] Economists try to persuade us to forget everything but the few facts that they wish us to consider, and go on to present ac- counts of the global economy that bear about as much relation to reality as the imaginings of the fourteenth-century cartographers, who had to fill in bits of the world that were beyond the range of contemporary sailors.
