This study uses Gramscian hegemony theory and the social movement approach to cooperative development toinvestigate the cooperative development gap that opened up between the provinces of Québec andSaskatchewan from 1980 to 2010. First, provincial sector growth is compared across several indices toestablish this gap's empirical scope and scale. Second, historical research and fieldwork findings are used toilluminate the gap's origins and its historical significance. The article concludes that the development gap hasbeen largely driven by bloc formation and dissolution—the historic erosion of Saskatchewan's traditional,agrarian-cooperative bloc and the renewal and expansion of Québec's social economy bloc.Also available on the web: Anserj (Accessed November 04, 2013)
