We suggest and use an analytical framework based on the three Frames for Innovation Policy proposed by Schot and Steinmueller (2018a, “Three frames for innovation policy: R&D, systems of innovation and transformative change.” Research Policy 47 (9): 1554–1567) to analyse two specific dimensions of innovation policy: the justification for policy intervention (type of failure) and the focus of intervention (mechanism for change). The shift from R&D and regulation towards system transformation is illustrated through a case study of a local agri-food industry in the Global South: the Mayan octopus fishery in the Yucatan region of Mexico. The case study evidence suggests that the emergence of different Frames did not follow a linear sequence and there are overlapping and ‘hybrid’ policies. The findings also suggest that Frame 3 initiatives require or emerge from Frame 1 or Frame 2 policy interventions. %K Transformative change %K transformative innovation policy %K policy Frame %K regional innovation %K sustainable development %K Mexico %~ Universidad de Cádiz
