Abstract: The
aim of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of the Plateforme de la
Filière Automobile and The British Automotive Council. The two operating
structure were established respectively in France and UK to support the
national automotive sectors at the dawn of the ongoing crisis. The Italian
government is on the way to set up a similar structure. These operating
structures can be defined as two instruments of industrial policy introduced in
parallel to the classical industrial policy measures allowed by the European
Union and that in some ways represent a turning point of the mode of state
intervention in the real economy. The challenge is to force different actors to
cooperate, not only central government and industry, but more deeply different
local authorities and different automotive tiers. In so far as the roles of the
different actors are balanced, dissimilar configurations of Triple Helix can be
detected and, as a consequence, different evaluations can be deduced.
