Trajectoires d’innovation, logiques spatiales et processus d’industrialisation : un modèle « industriel » méditerranéen ?

摘要

This paper aims suggesting an interdisciplinary theoretical frame, providing tools for innovative research focusing on industrial trajectories of Greece and of the whole Mediterranean area. It is fed by the results of two transversal research programs led within the Maison des sciences de l’Homme d’Aquitaine, the first one on The Spatial Logics of Innovation and the second one on The Trajectories of Innovation. Combining within the field of social sciences of innovation, a spatial and systemic analysis and a diachronic and historical perspective can be fruitful for addressing a hypothetic “industrial” Mediterranean pattern. It allows emphasizing types of proximity, the building process of economic and social networks, the emergence and the permanent crisis of regional systems of innovation. As an historian, the challenge remains determining the “small events”, the bifurcations, the lockouts and irreversibility processes, pointing out the crucial question of uncertainty regimes.
