Book Synopsis Innovation and the Social Economy by : Marie J. Bouchard
Download or read book Innovation and the Social Economy written by Marie J. Bouchard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social economy organizations such as cooperatives, non-profits, mutual benefit groups, foundations, and non-governmental organizations are uniquely positioned to respond not only to emerging social and economic needs, but also to new collective aspirations. In Québec, for instance, a pioneering social economy system has been developed that is recognized worldwide for its ability to foster innovative solutions to economic disparity and sustainability issues. In the wake of a global crisis that has emphasized the growing gap between economic and social concerns, what can other regions gain from this model? Through robust theoretical and in-depth empirical studies, this book offers the first opportunity to English-language readers to learn about the Québec experience of a social economy system. It takes stock of recent developments in the province relating to policy planning, governance, financing, local development, and legal frameworks. Innovation and the Social Economy also emphasizes this system’s potential for exploring alternative practices of production, consumption, and distribution that can foster social transformation.
Book Synopsis Social Resilience in the Neoliberal Era by : Peter A. Hall
Download or read book Social Resilience in the Neoliberal Era written by Peter A. Hall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the impact of three decades of neoliberal narratives and policies on communities and individual lives? What are the sources of social resilience? This book offers a sweeping assessment of the effects of neoliberalism, the dominant feature of our times. It analyzes the ideology in unusually wide-ranging terms as a movement that not only opened markets but also introduced new logics into social life, integrating macro-level analyses of the ways in which neoliberal narratives made their way into international policy regimes with micro-level analyses of the ways in which individuals responded to the challenges of the neoliberal era. The product of ten years of collaboration among a distinguished group of scholars, it integrates institutional and cultural analysis in new ways to understand neoliberalism as a syncretic social process and to explore the sources of social resilience across communities in the developed and developing worlds.
Book Synopsis The International Handbook on Social Innovation by : Frank Moulaert
Download or read book The International Handbook on Social Innovation written by Frank Moulaert and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThe challenges of poverty and social exclusion cannot be fully resolved through conventional public sector policies and market-led innovation. The case studies in this Handbook capture some of the key success factors of socially innovative action in different socio-economic contexts. This Handbook will inspire readers as it highlights the creativity and commitment of diverse enterprises and movements working for social innovation.Õ Ð Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka, Minister for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements, United Republic of Tanzania, and retired UN Under Secretary General, immediate former Executive Director of UN-HABITAT ÔSocial innovation may not be a new idea but it is clearly an idea whose time has come, not least because the traditional models of innovation Ð narrowly framed technical models Ð have run their course and no longer resonate in a world of societal challenges. This Handbook has two great merits Ð it brings conceptual rigour to the debate and it provides compelling narratives of social innovation in practice.Õ Ð Kevin Morgan, Cardiff University, UK ÔIn an era where social innovation is re-emerging as an important policy framework for bringing social transformation, this volume is a significant contribution to the theory and practice of social innovation. The incremental discussion from concepts to theory to practice and then to social innovation research is supported by cases literally from all over the globe. It moves the discourse from isolated models of neighbourhood engagements and social enterprises, to a comprehensive, multidimensional approach combining needs, social relations and empowerment. A must read for academicians, learners, practitioners and policy makers alike.Õ Ð S. Parasuraman, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India ÔSocial innovation is an important instrument for understanding how contemporary societies deal with social change and how social practices and policies intended to combat poverty and social exclusion are developed and implemented effectively. The Handbook offers a valuable contribution to the development of a clear, transdisciplinary and critical understanding of social innovation practices. The reader will find an in-depth discussion of the most important theoretical approaches to the concept and a thorough exposition of the epistemological and methodological framework for research in social innovation. The volume includes a number of interesting case studies in different areas of social change and issues of policy and governance.Õ Ð Enzo Mingione, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy This enriching Handbook covers many aspects of the scientific and socio-political debates on social innovation today. The contributors provide an overview of theoretical perspectives, methodologies and instructive experiences from all continents, as well as implications for collective action and policy. They argue strongly for social innovation as a key to human development. The Handbook defines social innovation as innovation in social relations within both micro and macro spheres, with the purpose of satisfying unmet or new human needs across different layers of society. It connects social innovation to empowerment dynamics, thus giving a political character to social movements and bottom-up governance initiatives. Together these should lay the foundations for a fairer, more democratic society for all. This interdisciplinary work, written by scholars collaborating to develop a joint methodological perspective toward social innovation agency and processes, will be invaluable for students and researchers in social science and humanities. It will also appeal to policy makers, policy analysts, lobbyists and activists seeking to give inspiration and leadership from a social innovation perspective.
Book Synopsis Responses to Geographical Marginality and Marginalization by : Etienne Nel
Download or read book Responses to Geographical Marginality and Marginalization written by Etienne Nel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines regional responses to marginality by highlighting social innovation, local capacity and new path formations in what are often seen as economically weak regions where policy and institutional considerations play a key role. Divided into three parts, it covers a wide range of topics related to geographical marginality from various angles, on both regional and local scales. The first part focuses on the role of social innovation and illustrates the themes of social innovation and new localism, local revitalization and social entrepreneurship. The second part then addresses the issues of economic responses, valorization, resource use and local action in response to marginalization. Lastly, the third part explores various policies and measures taken to respond to marginality and intensify regional development in marginal areas.
Book Synopsis Social Innovation of New Ventures by : Marcela Ramirez-Pasillas
Download or read book Social Innovation of New Ventures written by Marcela Ramirez-Pasillas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides insights into how new ventures in emerging economies and developing countries generate social innovation. It showcases new forms of business and how they are different from traditional business models. With increasing drive for innovation in emerging markets and lack of knowledge of how these markets work, this book enriches existing literature by looking at how such businesses in developing economies break new ground in a daunting, resource constrained environment. The book examines successful individual entrepreneurs, social relationships, product innovation, processes, systems and markets through cases. It navigates across key theoretical elements including individual initiative-taking, agency, and opportunity contexts. This book will be a useful reference to understanding the dynamics of new ventures in emerging markets and how they fuel social innovation and sustainable development.
Book Synopsis L'économie sociale, vecteur d’innovation by : Marie J. Bouchard
Download or read book L'économie sociale, vecteur d’innovation written by Marie J. Bouchard and published by PUQ. This book was released on 2011-11-14T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’économie sociale n’est pas un phénomène nouveau. Mais elle connaît un regain d’intérêt depuis les dernières décennies, notamment dans le contexte de la crise économique et des remises en cause profondes qu’elle occasionne. Les risques occasionnés par la déconnexion de l’économie et du social font l’objet de douloureuses manifestations, et la «crise» ressemble moins à un soubresaut conjoncturel qu’à une probable grande «rupture» du modèle de développement. Dans ce contexte, l’intérêt pour l’économie sociale s’accentue. On y voit entre autres un laboratoire d’innovations sociales qui cherche à dessiner les plans d’une économie qui ne soit pas déconnectée du social non plus que du politique.Ce livre rend compte de recherches récentes qui concernent des enjeux contemporains pour l’économie sociale, et dont l’expérience québécoise s’avère être un terrain riche d’enseignements. Les différents chapitres du livre rendent compte de l’histoire récente de l’économie sociale au Québec, de ses traits spécifiques sur le plan juridique et du rapport salarial, de ses pratiques en matière de gouvernance et de financement, de ses impacts sur le développement local et le développement durable, de son engagement dans la recherche partenariale. On y constate que les initiatives de l’économie sociale, apparues d’abord à l’échelle locale, se sont multipliées et diffusées, entraînant des effets structurants sur les conditions de vie, le travail et les territoires, ainsi que sur la planification et la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques. Les innovations sociales, tout en étant des réponses à des besoins, sont donc aussi des avenues pour le changement social.
Book Synopsis Droit de la finance alternative by : Jean-Marc Moulin
Download or read book Droit de la finance alternative written by Jean-Marc Moulin and published by Bruylant. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La finance est en crise ; mais elle est indispensable à la vie des hommes en société. Cependant, il serait abusif de considérer "la finance" comme un tout homogène. En effet, loin de la finance conventionnelle qui fait la une de l'actualité, il existe une finance dite alternative qui tente de placer et de maintenir l'Homme au centre de son projet et à l'horizon de son ambition. Cet ouvrage, premier du genre, se propose de présenter sous forme d'études réalisées par des spécialistes du droit financier, les manifestations de cette finance alternative, les outils, instruments et techniques juridiques qui existent et qui permettent de concilier finance et humanisme. À travers l'analyse des critères de développement durable ou religieux appliqués à la finance, des monnaies alternatives, du microcrédit, de la notation extra-financière, du mutualisme et du coopératisme en finance, du crowdfunding, des fonds éthiques, du financement associatif, du financement alternatif de l'habitat ou du soutien des collectivités publiques aux entreprises, ce livre fait, en France comme en Espagne, au Royaume-Uni, en Grèce et au Canada, un tour d'horizon complet de ce segment du secteur financier souvent méconnu et qui offre néanmoins aux Hommes de réaliser leurs projets dans la perspective d'un mieux-être collectif. Pour rompre avec l'idée que la finance n'est que spéculation et prédation.

Book Synopsis Political Change through Social Innovation by : Moulaert, Frank

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the key question of why socially innovative initiatives, including attempts to rejuvenate democracy by introducing new modes of participation, are not leading to a democratization of the State or overcoming the gap between political leaders and people. Offering insights from three leading voices of contemporary social sciences to address the failures of contemporary democracies, the book explores the potentialities of progressive socio-political agendas, strategies, and movements seeking to overcome these failures.
Book Synopsis L'innovation sociale by : Benoît Lévesque
Download or read book L'innovation sociale written by Benoît Lévesque and published by PUQ. This book was released on 2014-03-05T00:00:00-05:00 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il y a 30 ans, l’innovation n’était évoquée qu’au regard du concept d’innovation technologique, s’inscrivant dans une vision du monde qui privilégiait la croissance économique. Or la crise du mode de régulation fordiste, au début des années 1980, est venue ébranler ce modèle. Des organisations et des groupes ont expérimenté d’autres façons de produire de la richesse, et des chercheurs se sont intéressés à ces réagencements sociaux et aux nouvelles pratiques qui en ont découlé. C’est dans cet esprit que Benoît Lévesque et divers collaborateurs proches des milieux sociaux ont construit l’approche québécoise de l’innovation sociale, qui aujourd’hui fait école. Ce sont les différentes marches de cette trajectoire intellectuelle qui sont exposées dans ce livre, de l’émergence des innovations sociales jusqu’aux limites des transformations provoquées par celles-ci. Sont d’abord présentées les bases conceptuelles de l’innovation sociale, puis la façon dont celle-ci s’érige en acteur majeur de la transformation du modèle québécois. Des analyses plus circonscrites montrent l’utilité de cette approche qui intègre le social et l’économique, sans tomber dans une vision idéalisée. Enfin, l’ouvrage ouvre la voie au renouvellement de la réflexion sur l’innovation sociale, soulignant le besoin d’amorcer une nouvelle vague d’innovations pour contrer la crise actuelle qui affecte l’ensemble du système capitaliste.
