Abstract

Clusters are networks of firms interacting with themselves and other agents, both scientific and organisational. Politics to support clusters are recent. Those implemented in France are analysed. They are developed in two stages, based in two different mechanisms, the local productive systems and the competitiveness poles. The conclusions are that these politics have got the national goal of improving international competitiveness of French industry from mobilisation of local initiatives; at the same time they have effectively contributed to territorial balance.
