Abstract: We discuss the relation between the Gell-Mann-Low beta function and the ``flowing couplings of the Wilsonian action $S_L[phi]$ of the exact renormalization group (RG) at the scale $L$. This relation involves the ultraviolet region of $L$ so that the condition of renormalizability is equivalent to the Callan-Symanzik equation. As an illustration, by using the exact RG formulation, we compute the beta function in Yang-Mills theory to one loop (and to two loops for the scalar case). We also study the infrared (IR) renormalons. This formulation is particularly suited for this study since: $i$) $L$ plays the r^ole of a IR cutoff in Feynman diagrams and non-perturbative effects could be generated as soon as $L$ becomes small; $ii$) by a systematical resummation of higher order corrections the Wilsonian flowing couplings enter directly into the Feynman diagrams with a scale given by the internal loop momenta; $iii$) these couplings tend to the running coupling at high frequency, they differ at low frequency and remain finite all the way down to zero frequency.
