“…The problems confronting these government agencies include the need to provide collective pre-competitive knowledge, and to ensure its longevity of knowledge in the context of the French NIS (Papon 1998;Mustar and Laredo 2002 specifications. This has meant that DGA has inexorably progressed towards more downstream activities in order to better identify military needs (Guichard 2005).…”

“…This reduction in the funds dedicated to defence has generated a break from 'capitalism à la française' and a remarkable reconfiguration of government agencies and firms (Serfati 2001;Mustar and Laredo 2002;Guichard 2005). In the same year, the 'national champions' underwent a process of privatization and Europeanization of their organizations, and a redefinition of their knowledge base.…”

“…Кроме того, для исследований в социальной или гуманитарной сферах к категории А отнесено создание открытых баз данных, справочников и критических заметок. 14 . В этом отношении Франция существенно отстает от других мировых лидеров в области ИР и инноваций, таких как Германия и США, тогда как исследовательская и инновационная активность крупных французских компаний вполне сопоставима с таковой у конкурентов [6].…”

“…Следует отметить расхождения авторов в позициях, с которых они оценивают проводимую в стране научную политику и, в частности, заимствование зарубежных практик. Так, на фоне заявлений о неприменимости англосаксонского опыта к французской модели организации научных исследований 22 , некоторые авторы предлагают уделить большее внимание интеграции ИР гражданской и оборонной направленности по примеру США [14].…”

Purpose:the article is aimed at studying the present state and current trends in R&D activities of France in the context of French state scientific policy. For that purpose the French scientific policy’s main areas and instruments were analyzed, the principle shifts were highlighted. The transformation of the French scientific policy was examined and assessed.Methods:in the article there were used such methods as description, comparison, system principle, analytical approach and tabular method.Results:by research findings the course of the French scientific policy’s transformation under the EU influence was stipulated. The crucial, to the author’s mind, areas of the French scientific policy were defined. Some current development trends of the French R&D activities’ were stipulated.Conclusions and Relevance:it was proved that under the EU influence France is gradually shifting away from its traditional tough regulation of the national innovation system toward stimulating private innovations and developing R&D infrastructure. Among crucial areas and instruments of the French scientific policy there were: direct financing; providing tax reliefs; regionalization and clusterization; support of SMEs; development of universities’ research potential; stimulating cooperation between research institutions, just as between research institutions and industrial firms. Among crucial trends of change there were: R&D expenditures increase among universities and industrial companies, including fundamental research R&D; state research institutes’ R&D expenditures downfall in 2010 and their further stagnation; attempts to copy some US innovation development experience. It was shown that the reforms implemented, though get some increase of R&D activity of commercial firms, are not effective enough, according to some experts, because of bureaucratization and sometimes come down to creation of new bureaucratic institutions or their merging.

“…Firms have repositioned themselves along the value chain through a two-pronged effort toward horizontal integration and vertical disintegration, to enhance the benefits from their innovation activities (Guillou et al, 2009). While the role of firms in the realization of advanced defense research programs has been strengthened, the role of the DGA has been redirected toward following up complex program developments, and more downstream activities related to testing and trialing in the operationalization phases of these programs (Guichard, 2005). Thus, with the exception of the nuclear sector, the interface with scientific research and technological networks is provided by firms (Lazaric et al, 2011).…”

The structural changes inside the French innovation system have impacted the role of defense firms since the late 1980s. Major changes have affected the defense budget and public R&D funding system in particular. The aim of this article is to understand French defense firms' repositioning within the National Innovation System (NIS) based on an analysis of their R&D behavior over a long period of time (1987 to 2010). We show that French defense firms remain major players in the NIS and faced up to these major changes by adapting the funding of their R&D and their research priorities and rolling out new innovation capabilities. Additionally, they developed new innovation models to take advantage of new collaborative partnerships developed for civil and military markets.JEL classification: G32, 032
