Les moteurs du développement territorial

This article copes with the two drivers of territorial development ? namely the production and governance processes. It examines their characteristics, their functioning, and the role they play in the implementation of territorial development mechanisms. Their link with territorial innovations of various natures (technological, organizational, social and institutional) is also examined. The text starts with a survey of literature and experiences on the notions of governance and production at the territorial level, followed by an analysis of the black box of fabrication of territorial innovation. To finish, the mechanisms of territorial development are described, based on three possible options of (non) development: loyalty or cooperation, voice or competition, spatial exit or relocation.
