Chapter 1 : Exploring the convergence of the rationales underlying the policies for science, technology and innovation and for creative industries
Résumé
In the recent period, there have been apparent similarities in the arguments put forward by the advocates of the so-called creative sectors and by the scholars and specialists of economics of innovation. System approaches, learning cities and clusters, innovative milieus, creation and diffusion processes, etc. seem to constitute a new commonly shared vocabulary and conceptual arsenal. This chapter proposes a policy-oriented examination of the possible convergence between the economics of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) and of Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI).
