Résumé

Objectif : Reconceptualiser la responsabilité territoriale des entreprises (RTE) comme un mécanisme de conversion produisant des capabilités territoriales collectives, afin de fournir l'opérateur agentif qui manque aux théories de la résilience régionale et des capabilités collectives, dans le contexte des économies ultrapériphériques.

Conception/méthodologie/approche : Recherche conceptuelle (theory building) procédant par combinaison abductive systématique de l'encastrement polanyien, de l'économie de la proximité, de la théorie des communs et de l'approche par les capabilités. Le modèle relie quatre formes situées de RTE à quatre mécanismes transformateurs et cinq capabilités et en dérive cinq propositions falsifiables. Il est complété par un volet empirique exploratoire  architecture reproductible d'un indice de RTE et quasi-expérience adossée au cyclone Chido et par un suivi de processus sur la Martinique, la Guyane et Mayotte.

Résultats : La RTE opère comme un mécanisme de réencastrement convertissant ressources locales, proximités et coopérations en capabilités productive, organisationnelle, institutionnelle, écologique et résiliente ; leur combinaison est super-additive par complémentarité (supermodularité). Une transposition bornée d'un trilemme de ressources situe la RTE comme le levier relâchant la contrainte intégration externe / convergence sociale / autonomie productive.

Originalité/valeur : L'article transforme la RTE d'une typologie descriptive en un mécanisme causal micro-fondé, doté d'une micro-fondation émergentiste qui écarte la réification du territoire, d'une grammaire falsifiable et d'une architecture de mesure reproductible pour les six RUP françaises.
