Abstract
Many grand challenges - climate change, poverty, and geographic dislocations – disproportionately affect disadvantaged communities. One way to address these challenges is to collaborate across sectors. In this preliminary paper, we explore the formation of one type of collaborative agreement between disadvantaged communities and other parties: Impact Benefit Agreements (IBAs) between First Nations communities in Canada and mining companies. We consider specifically the ways in which identity and institutional logics systematically combine with the relative power of the disadvantaged communities to result in various levels of agreement quality. We find that what seems to matter more than either power or logics is community identity and the degree of community subscription to that identity.
