The paper focuses on the Russian and French cases. The two countries have a lot of similarities, important resources in research and development, in technology, a top-down tradition on public policy. They face the same challenges; the necessity to deepen knowledge-based processes to foster innovation, to improve the relations between research and industries, between research institutions, large firms and SMEs. The paper analyses the cluster strategies implemented in the two countries, which display common objectives but specific paths.Кластеры и стратегии их развития рассматриваются как ключевые элементы нашей глобальной экономики, основанной на знаниях. В статье основное внимание уделяется российским и французским кластерам. У двух стран есть много общего, важные ресурсы в области исследований и разработок, технологии, нисходящая традиция государственной политики. Они сталкиваются с теми же проблемами; необходимость углубления процессов, основанных на знаниях, для стимулирования инноваций, улучшения отношений между научными исследованиями и отраслями промышленности, между исследовательскими институтами, крупными фирмами. В статье анализируются стратегии развития кластеров, реализованные в двух странах, которые показывают общие цели, но особенные пути.Clustercluster strategyindustrial policypilot clustercompetitiveness clusterRussiaFranceкластерстратегия развития кластеровпромышленная политикаэкспериментальный кластеркластер конкурентоспособностиРоссияФранция1.Abashkin V., Boyarov A., Kutsenko E. 2012.
