Which Side of the Coin? The Regional Governance of Science and Innovation
Abstract
Koschatzky K., Kroll H. (2007) Which side of the coin? The regional governance of science and innovation, Regional Studies 41, 1115-1127. The paper deals with the impact of recent trends in the devolution of political powers in science, technology and innovation policies. It argues that some problems are associated with this regionalization because the emerging multi-level governance structures turn political action into a complex bargaining process between actor groups with partially conflicting interests. The paper sketches the theoretical potentials and limitations of science, technology and innovation policy designed at the regional level. Based on regional evidence from the German federal system, it demonstrates which policy aspects are suitable for devolution to regional governments and how they can be integrated in multi-level governance structures.

Cet article cherche a traiter de l'impact des tendances recentes a la regionalisation des pouvoirs politiques dans le domaine des politiques en faveur de la science, de la technologie et de l'innovation. On affirme qu'un certain nombre de probleemes se rapportent a cette regionalisation parce que les structures de gouvernance a plusieurs niveaux naissantes peuvent transformet l'action politique en un processus de negociation complexe entre des groupes d'acteurs dont les interets sont en partie contradictoires. Cet article esquisse done le potentiel et la limite theoriques de la politique de science, de technologie et d'innovation elanoree sur le plan regional. A Partir des preuves provenant du systeme federal allemand, on presente les aspects de la politique qui se preent bien a leur transfer aux instances reegionles et comment ils peuvent s'integrer dans des structures de gouvernance a plusieurs niveaux.

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Bedeutung der Dezentralisierung politischer Entscheidungsbefugnisse in der Wissenschafts-, Technologie- und Innovationspolitik, in dem er sich mit den Problemen und Chancen dieser Regionalisierung auseinander setzt. Es wird die These vertreten, dass durch die Multi-Ebenen-Governance Strukturen politisches Handeln zunehmend zu einem komplexen Aushandlungsprozess zwischen den beteiligten Akteursgruppen mit teilweise konfligierenden Interessen wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund umreisst der Beitrag die theoretischen Potenziale und Grenzen von auf der regionalen Ebene gestalteter Wissenschafts-, Technologie- und Innovationspolitik. Basierend auf regionalen Beispielen aus dem deutschen foderalen System zeigt das Papier auf, welche Politikmassnahmen geeignet fur die Ubertragung an regionale Regierungen sind und wie sie in die Multi-Ebenen-Governance Strukturen integriert werden konnen.

El gobierno regional de la ciencia y la innovacion, Regional Studies 41, 1115-1127. En este ensayo abordamos la repercusion de tendencias recientes en la transferencia de competencias en las politicas cientificas, tecnologicas y de innovacion. Sostenemos que esta regionalizacion causa numerosos problemas debido a que las nuevas estructuras gubernamentales multinivel convierten las medidas politicas en un complejo proceso de regateo entre los grupos protagonistas con intereses parcialmente conflictivos. Aqui resenamos las limitaciones y el potencial teoricos de las politicas cientifica, tecnologica y la innovacion disenadas en un nivel regional. Basandonos en ejemplos regionales del sistema federal de Alemania, demostramos que aspectos politicos son adecuados para la transferencia de competencias en gobiernos regionales y como pueden ser integrados en estructuras de gobiernos multinivel.
