Beschreibung
What concrete contributions can social innovations make to the transition to forms of sustainable social living and economic activity? And what contributions can the social sciences make to achieve this? These questions are in the focus of this book. Thus, on the one hand, it is about specific social innovations that help us to achieve the goal of living and doing business sustainably, but on the other hand, it is also about the way in which the social sciences can be included in the social responsibility for the success of such socially innovative processes.

The question of what concrete contributions social innovations can make to the transition to forms of sustainable coexistence and economic activity is as much the focus of this book as the question of what contribution the social sciences can make. Thus, on the one hand, it is about concrete social innovations that help us to achieve the goal of living and doing business sustainably, but on the other hand, it is also about the way in which the social sciences - not least through appropriate theoretical and methodological training - can be made socially responsible for the success of such socially innovative processes.

What conditions can foster social innovation? What role do the social sciences play in these transformation processes? What concrete examples of social innovation can be found in cities, communities, regions?
