Abstract

This article presents a disaggregated approach to understanding innovation policy governance. It first develops a conceptual framework for differentiating innovation policy domains in terms of the complexity of governance problems and for describing governance approaches and outcomes. The article then advances a theoretical explanation of divergent governance patterns by granting causal primacy to the interplay between government structures and interactive arrangements. It contends that these socio‐political institutions interact differently to structure the resolution of governance problems and thus generate divergent patterns of innovation policy governance. The article illustrates the empirical relevance of its theoretical framework and explanation through a comparative analysis of innovation policy governance in four East Asian economies. 本文提出一项分解法,用于理解创新政策治理。本文首先提出一项概念框架,用于区分治理问题复杂性方面的创新政策领域,并描述治理措施和结果。本文随后通过认定政府架构和互动性安排之间的相互影响存在首要的因果关系,进而对不同的治理模式提出理论解释。本文主张,这些社会‐政治制度以不同方式相互影响,形成治理问题的解决方案,并因此产生创新政策治理的不同模式。本文通过对四个东亚经济体的创新政策治理进行比较分析,阐述了其理论框架和解释的实证相关性。 Este artículo presenta un enfoque desagregado para comprender la gobernanza de las políticas de innovación. Primero desarrolla un marco conceptual para diferenciar los dominios de las políticas de innovación en términos de la complejidad de los problemas de gobernanza y para describir los enfoques y resultados de la gobernanza. Luego, el artículo presenta una explicación teórica de los patrones de gobernanza divergentes al otorgar primacía causal a la interacción entre las estructuras gubernamentales y los acuerdos interactivos. Sostiene que estas instituciones sociopolíticas interactúan de manera diferente para estructurar la resolución de problemas de gobernanza y generar así patrones divergentes de gobernanza de políticas de innovación. El artículo ilustra la relevancia empírica de su marco teórico y explicación a través de un análisis comparativo de la gobernanza de las políticas de innovación en cuatro economías de Asia oriental.
