Abstract
In this chapter, the introduction of time as a factor of territorial dynamics allows transforming simple relations among stakeholders into lasting interactions able to create new requirements, new procedures, or even new routines. Mapping behavioral patterns are not only a title but a necessity that allows us to perceive how stakeholders in southern Europe interact to innovate. They are encouraged by the common objectives of the productive branch to which they belong and permit, thereby creating scope advantages. So far, little has been made in such a context. In our opinion, creating cluster advantages in southern Europe have not been a strategic choice, and we wish to call the attention for this possibility which, if applied in an integrated context of public policy and practice, could promote prosperity across this enlarged region.
