Abstract: Abstract The chapter reviews how the concept of institutional complementarities has been approached by the Varieties of Capitalism literature. Based on this critical review, we propose a new framework to analyse institutional complementarities. We discuss promising future applications in the field of economic geography, such as how complementarities across institutions may promote regional innovation and diversification in European regions, how this institutional complementarity framework may shed light on the question of what is possible when implementing institutional change in specific territorial contexts in the EU, and how it may contribute to understand better how regional innovation policy may become effective in particular institutional contexts in Europe.
