Abstract

This article proposes to revisit the link between institutionalism and development through the prisme of innovation capacities. Although there is a lot of literature on the institutionalism and the development link; it appears to be less directed towards the innovation approach. There are many reasons: theories on development and good governance mainly responded to development issues in countries of the South, but also to the firm, the town or the natural environment. They also reflect quite a strong dimension on the political aspect within global governance. We therefore propose to look again at the trilogy of innovation capacities, institutions and development, before planning to highlight these capacities in the case of developing economies and to propose instruments - from the point of view of strengthening institutions - by establishing innovation policies. \textcopyright 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York.
