“…As the years passed, the focus of the milieus approach to innovation issues has tended to weaken in favour of a diversification of the themes analysed and the idea that the mobility of people and factors of production–in particular, financial capital and knowledge—is an unsurpassable fact of contemporary economies. This mobility has an impact on the conditions of territorial development, which is no longer characterized by the development of knowledge on a local basis, but rather by the mobilization and anchoring of knowledge existing elsewhere (Kebir, Crevoisier, Costa, & Peyrache‐Gadeau, ). It is on this basis that milieus can continue to perform and take advantage of this competitive advantage, mostly if they are able to use local skills in a globalized network of specialized and/or complementary skills, the territorial dynamics of knowledge becoming more and more combinatorial, and less cumulative (Crevoisier & Jeannerat, ).…”

The objective of this paper is to assess the French‐speaking countries contributions to regional science since its creation in the 1950s. France, and other French‐speaking countries, very quickly adhered to the approach of the founding fathers of regional science. French‐language research developed for several years without maintaining major relations with the main streams that flow through regional science. However, the years 2000 and 2010 saw the emergence of streams of thought that strongly irrigate at the international level. The authors of this paper are part of this movement. Here we trace the origins and development of the French‐speaking contribution to regional sciences, while highlighting the originality of the French‐language approach. First, the question of academic and institutional contexts is discussed, with the role of the founders and the peculiar place of Journals and public institutions. Further sections analyse the main contributions coming from economics (local systems of production and innovation, innovative milieus and proximity analysis) and geography (regional development at a global scale, and urban systems and complexity). We conclude with cross‐disciplinary contributions including intra‐urban organization and mobility, territorial governance and territorial development, as well as other approaches to the social sciences, in the contemporary issues of city and territorial governance.

“…A crucial stock of non‐mobile social and relational capital should therefore be protected, strategically cumulated over time to maintain a competitive position of the area in the long period, and not be dispersed or destroyed (Camagni, ; Kebir, Crevoisier, Costa, & Peyrache‐Gadeau, ). Moreover, among all the intangible local assets mentioned in the literature as sources of local competitiveness, regional identity is directly or indirectly mentioned as one of them.…”

Regional competitiveness has been made increasingly dependent on soft, intangible assets. One of these latter is certainly territorial identity. This concept, however, lacks a clear definition and a sound measure. The aim of this paper is to enter the debate on territorial identity. Building on the concepts of similarity and solidarity as elements essential for definition of identity, the paper elaborates on the “territorial” dimension of identity, and on the laws of accumulation and depletion of such a soft asset. Finally, starting from the definition of territorial identity as “the presence of socio‐economic context conditions allowing convergence between collective and private interests, and feeding a sense of belonging and loyalty to a community”, the paper suggests a composite indicator for territorial identity, and applies it to all European NUTS 2 regions, and draws policy implications from the concept.

“…Recent analyses suggest that such platforms play a key role for their development. This work highlights the significance of related and unrelated (sectoral) variety (Boschma, 2017) for the emergence of green tech clusters, since many of them are based on a broad set of different technologies and new organizational models that often cut across industries (Cooke, 2008;Kebir, Crevoisier, Costa, & Peyrache-Gadeau, 2017). Cooke (2008) draws a distinction between different types of green tech innovations and points out that a high innovation potential is closely linked to the convergence of different kinds of technologies.…”

“…Our review includes recent work on technological and global innovation systems (TIS and GIS), the multi-level perspective (MLP), and the literatures on strategic niche and transition management. Compared to traditional innovation systems views, these approaches often take account of transitions towards more sustainable development paths (Geels, 2004), directing attention to the present and future societal challenges such as the ageing society, health, social inclusion or climate change (Kebir et al, 2017). This is reflected in vivid discussions about the direction of innovation and growing concerns with new mission-oriented and challenge-led systeminnovation and transformative innovation policies (see, for instance, OECD, 2015; Schot & Steinmüller, 2016).…”

How new regional growth paths emerge and what policy concepts are most adequate for nurturing their evolution constitute recurring themes in regional innovation and development studies. New industrial paths are often portrayed as the result of market-driven processes and Schumpeterian entrepreneurial efforts. This view goes along with a neoliberal policy approach that restricts the role of public interventions to setting up a suitable regulatory frame and supporting an entrepreneurial climate. The theoretical underpinnings and policy perspectives of this approach have been challenged by the innovation system literature, which offers a systemic view on the rise of new growth paths and advocates a more proactive role of public policy. This paper investigates the role of policy models beyond these traditional ones. We contrast different variants of systemic and multi-scalar policy concepts for new regional industrial path development. Our literature-based study shows that more recent models go beyond new path development and growth per se, paying more attention to the direction of innovation and change, and to policy approaches for achieving more sustainable forms of development. We scrutinize the theoretical and empirical bases of these new policy models and discuss why they are superior to neoliberal and older systemic ones. ARTICLE HISTORY
