This article places the topic of “social innovation” in the context of the paradigm shift of the 1980s. This shift from Fordism to post-Fordism has led to a weakening of the model of the European welfare state. Social innovation has become an instrument to promote regional self-responsibility and entrepreneurial activity by local authorities. The concept of social innovation has become widespread among various disciplines and controversially used by them. Referring to regional and corporate success stories based on the commitment of grassroots movements and civil society has its shortcomings, as the new spatiality regimes show increasing disparities. The article shows the different lines of conflict in the discussion about social innovations and makes suggestions for the specification and delimitation of the concept. Using two case studies on social innovations from mountain regions of Switzerland, based on standardized interviews, including the results of a social network analysis, the article distinguishes between adaptive and transformative social innovations. The adaptive social innovations analysed did not result in changing the inferior position of the regions; however, they prevented even greater destabilization by mobilizing the dynamic actors in the valley to work together. This is helpful for ensuring that the urban majority continues to show solidarity with the population in rural and mountain areas. The constructive interaction between public, private, and civil society institutions is seen as the key factor of social innovation in the European peripheral areas to which most mountain areas belong.

Theoretical Foundations

The article studies the problem of the theoretical foundations for the definition and construction of humanitarian criteria for social innovation. The actual components of this problem of implementing social innovations in a number of areas of activity, both of the state and civil society, are examined. The possible grounds for determining the humanitarian criteria for social innovation are highlighted: immanent and transcendental. The utilitarian approach is presented in its various historical actualizations as a possible theoretical basis for the humanitarian criteria of social innovation. The positive and negative sides of certain forms of utilitarianism, as a theoretical basis for creating effective criteria for social innovation, are revealed. As a result of the study of the problem, it was determined that the humanitarian criterion of social innovation should include an integrated approach that combines a utilitarian approach and a functional approach.

I forbindelse med de nationale strategiplaner ”Det fælles ansvar II” og ”Den nationale hjemløsestrategi” er der blevet iværksat flere aktiviteter i Københavns Kommune for at skabe øget viden og forbedre indsatsen i forhold til hjemløse og andre grupper af socialt udsatte kvinder. Flere af disse er sociale innovationer. De har som formål at imødekomme kvindernes behov og problemer på nye og bedre måder. I artiklen analyseres tilblivelsen af en af disse sociale innovationer, ”Café Klare – Natcaféen for kvinder”. Det undersøges således hvorledes ideen til natcaféen er fremkommet, og hvordan processen bag implementeringen af den er forløbet. Analysen viser bl.a., at der er tale om en længerevarende proces, hvor medarbejdere og ledere i Socialforvaltningen og i organisationer på hjemløseområdet, mere eller mindre strategisk har skabt, udnyttet og forhandlet muligheder for at skabe en forbedret indsats for de hjemløse kvinder, heriblandt natcaféen. Analysen er baseret på et længerevarende, kvalitativt casestudie. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Catharina Juul Kristensen: Social Innovation in Services for Homeless Women – the Creation of a Night Shelter Within the framework of the Danish national action plans ”Our Common Responsibility II” and ”The National Homeless Strategy”, the municipality of Copenhagen launched a number of initiatives to improve social services for socially vulnerable and homeless women. Another goal of these initiatives was to increase awareness and knowledge of these women’s needs. Many of these efforts are social innovations that endeavor to meet the needs and problems of homeless women in new ways. This article analyzes the emergence of one of these social innovations, ”Café Klare – the night shelter for women”. It focuses on the process of idea generation and implementation of the night shelter. The analysis shows how employees and managers in both the municipal social administration and in organizations for homelessness created, used and negotiated the opportunity to improve the social services for homeless women more or less strategically. Among these services was ”Café Klare”. The analysis is based on an in depth case study. Key words: Social innovation, innovation processes, entrepreneurship, night shelters, homeless women.

Social Innovations

This chapter questions the contemporary forms of civil society engagement with housing, starting from the assumption that the concrete importance of specific initiatives of social innovation should be assessed in relation to existing problems. Since the basis of housing problems is not only the decline of public housing policies, but the increasing strength of rent extraction on urban land, the contributions from communities and the civil society should be assessed on their ability to counter the extraction of unearned rents from urban land. Referring mainly to Italian cases, the chapter shows that many experiments tackle some symptoms or side effects of this trend while some alleged social innovations are even an integral part of the problem. However, some experiments can be considered as examples of a radical progressive vision on housing, as they switch from the idea of property to one of access, and prevent the capture of urban land value.

The Impact

This chapter considers the response of social innovations to the growing concern with food poverty. Food provision has not traditionally been a core public welfare function in the most developed welfare regimes, and social innovations often provide more developed and effective responses than government in this area. Voluntary and civil society organisations have pioneered a variety of innovations to feed vulnerable groups while also reducing surplus food waste. These initiatives involve partnerships with private sector food companies which donate surplus supplies which social innovations distribute. The chapter provides examples of how inventive social innovations have had to be to meet the considerable logistical challenges they face in acquiring, storing and distributing surplus food. The chapter concludes by highlighting examples of the impact which social have had in helping to shape public policy innovations in the area of food poverty.

This article focuses on the case of the city of Kortrijk, Belgium, which in 2017 received the title of Creative City of Design from Unesco, especially the MyMachine, SPEK, and 5X5® Projects. The objective was to identify the main elements responsible for winning the title. To meet this objective, we opted for descriptive exploratory research, through bibliographic research. Among the results, it was possible to show that the city has come over the years, developing socially and economically based on its actions and strategies in the design and education, creative projects, and entrepreneurship, even long before being part of Unesco's World Network of Creative Cities. It was observed that Kortrjik has a driving role, mainly because it manages to create an innovation ecosystem with all the social actors involved in this process, highlighting the MyMachine, SPEK and 5X5® Projects, articulated with governmental, private initiative and civil society, giving the city a potential for relevant social innovation.

Comparison of the narratives of civil society and the federal government on YouTube and Twitter in the case of the disappearance of 43 students in Ayotzinapa, Mexico, allows the identification of the codes of representation being disputed in this emblematic case of violation of fundamental rights. Digital storytelling that goes viral and across media offers the possibility of organizing protest in the offline world. Its reflective attributes favor the visibility of injustice and permanence on the local and global agenda and in some cases exert pressure on social actors and authorities to establish mechanisms to resolve the conflict. La comparación de las narrativas sobre la sociedad civil y el gobierno federal en YouTube y en Twitter en el caso de la desaparición de los 43 estudiantes en Ayotzinapa, Mexico, nos permite identificar los códigos de representación en disputa en este caso emblemático de violación de los derechos humanos. Los relatos digitales que se vuelven virales y pasan a otros medios ofrecen la posibilidad de organizar la protesta en el mundo fuera de la Red. Su capacidad de reflejar ayuda a visibilizar la injusticia, manteniéndola como tema importante en las agendas locales y globales, y en algunos casos también ayuda a ejercer presión sobre los agentes sociales y las autoridades para establecer mecanismos que puedan resolver los conflictos.

Las ciencias sociales han debido afrontar el reto de elaborar marcos conceptuales y analíticos que permitan abordar las transformaciones de las sociedades contemporáneas. Resaltan los desafíos en materia de desarrollo económico, gobernabilidad, inclusión social, ampliación de la ciudadanía, movilización social, etc. En este sentido se ha abordado el estudio de la sociedad civil y los movimientos sociales vistos como actores que pertenecen a esta, para comprender las presiones ejercidas a los gobiernos democráticos en América Latina, particularmente en México y Venezuela, para impulsar la expansión de los derechos ciudadanos, las reformas democráticas, la visibilización y el reconocimiento de las demandas de los grupos lgbti, indígenas y afrodescendientes. CITIZENSHIP, CIVIL SOCIETY AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT IN LATIN AMERICA: CONTEMPORARY DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGES IN MEXICO AND VENEZUELA (1990-2012) Social sciences have had to face the challenge of developing conceptual and analytic frameworks to approach the transformation processes in contemporary societies. Important challenges are faced in the fields of economic development, governance, social inclusion, citizenship expansion and social mobilization among others. The study of civil society and its movements viewed as social actors has thus been approached in order to understand the pressure exercised by democratic governments in Latin America, particularly in Mexico and Venezuela, in order to promote the extension of citizen rights, democratic reforms, the visibilization and recognition of the demands of lgbti groups, indigenous people and Afro-descendant communities.
