Given recent processes of regional restructuring and provincial development in Chiloé, Chile, traditional communities have witnessed the Í€˜glocalisationÍ€™ of their economic base and socio-cultural aspects of their lives. The article focuses on the municipal position in terms of the impacts generated by salmon aquaculture and the faculties that they exercise at the local level to manage them. It reveals that the salmon aquaculture industry in Chiloé does not appear to provide a successful example of spatial restructuring, developing a global innovation system without the full integration of local actors in decision-making in the territories over which they have a democratic role and responsibility. There is clear evidence of a double hierarchy between political-administrative responsibilities and the public-private apparatus for local economic development, which weakens local democratic structures in the pursuit of national economic growth.
