“…In other words, social innovations produce economic, social, cultural and environmental development and lead to other types of innovations [14]. Social innovations are localized within a territory and are designed for the sustainable development of local communities [15]. Microfinance also known as proximity finance or capital for social innovations contributes to the development of local communities through local infrastructures built in local territories.…”

“…This study uses social innovations' components to examine the contributions of microfinance innovations on the local infrastructure development in local councils and regions in Cameroon. According to [15], social innovations are studied at three dimensions that are: social innovation as a tool of modernization of public policies; social innovation as a developmental instrument of social entrepreneurs and social innovation as a mechanism for inclusion, territoriality and participation.…”

Local development is an alternative to central government at the local level. Unlike the case with the central government, local development is directed towards local territories usually with the goal of developing their local resources one of which is local infrastructure. This infrastructure is usually financed by public and private sector capitals. The main objective of this study was therefore to prospect the contributions of microfinance social innovations to public local infrastructure development in local councils in the South, Far North, South West, and North West regions of Cameroon. Government's periodicals and literature on microfinance were used for data collection. The data were analyzed according to contributions, determinants, and challenges of microfinance social innovations in the context of public local infrastructure development in local councils in the regions studied. The findings revealed that the North West and South West regions which retain a higher number of Microfinance Institutions are amenable to more microfinance social innovations which are likely to increase public local infrastructure development in their local councils. This is not the case for the South and Far North regions. Meanwhile, the core challenge faced by municipal authorities in creating public local infrastructure is the lack of mastery and non-respect of both non-financial and financial regulations. We suggest based on the findings above that local councils studied should increase stakeholders' cooperation and participation in public local infrastructure development in their localities, if they hope to boost public local infrastructure development in their municipalities.

“…Bien qu'a priori tautologique (imagine-t-on une innovation antisociale ou a-sociale ?) et manifestement polysémique (outil de modernisation des politiques publiques en matière sociale, synonyme d'entrepreneuriat social, système d'innovation territorialisé et participatif 58 ), cette notion 59 extirpe l'innovation des espaces de la technologie et de l'entrepreneuriat, pour renvoyer notamment à des enjeux de citoyenneté, de santé ou d'émancipation sociale 60 . Dans une discussion interne à l'actor-network theory, ces auteurs dépla-cent la perspective (« penser à partir du "moins de" et du "sans" ») en suggérant d'étudier les innovations par le biais de ce qui soustrait, détache, bref, retire des liens pour en créer par la suite de nouveaux.…”

Du lien entre l’analyse sociologique de l’innovation et la sociologie : une lecture simmelienne

Cet article interroge la contribution de la sociologie de l’innovation à la sociologie. Cette relation ne saurait s’appréhender de manière univoque, en soulignant seulement des apports. C’est pourquoi la méthodologie sociologique de Simmel est mobilisée car elle insiste sur la dualité des phénomènes sociaux et la nécessité de les aborder selon des prismes différents. Aussi, à partir de variations autour de quatre thèmes, nous sommes amenés à défendre les idées suivantes : la sociologie de l’innovation, au sens large, gagnerait à revendiquer un regard porté sur le réel, soucieux du mouvement mais également attentif aux moments de stabilisation. Une vision diachronique et séquencée, commune à de nombreuses recherches, pourrait également être un aiguilleur pour d’autres champs de la sociologie. Une sociologie de l’innovation fondée en valeurs est ensuite prônée. Elle irait de ce fait au-delà d’une sociologie d’objet(s), notamment en poursuivant des débats autour de la théorie de l’action.This article examines the contribution of the sociology of innovation to sociology. This relationship cannot be appreciated unequivocally, highlighting only the positive arguments. This is why the sociological methodology of Simmel is mobilized because it emphasizes the duality of social phenomena and the need to address them under different prisms. As a result, from variations around four themes, we are required to defend the following ideas : the sociology of innovation, in a broad sense, has to claim a specific eye, conscious of movement but also attentive to stabilization moments ; a sequenced and diachronic vision, common to many research within sociology of innovation could also be a landmark for other fields of sociology. Sociology of innovation based on values is then promoted. It would therefore help to go beyond an object(s) sociology and would be able to continue debates related to theory of action.Este artículo examina la contribución de la sociología de la innovación a la sociologia. Esta relación no se puede abordar únicamente, destacando sólo las contribuciones. Es porque la metodología sociológica Simmel movilizó porque hace hincapié en la dualidad de los fenómenos sociales y la necesidad de tratar con diferentes prismas. También, de variaciones en torno a cuatro temas, estamos llamados a defender las siguientes ideas : la sociología de la innovación en un sentido amplio, para reclamar la victoria se centró en el aspecto real, el movimiento consciente, pero también atentos a los momentos estabilización. Una visión diacrónica y secuenciado, común a muchos de investigación también podría ser un router para otros campos de la sociología. Se promueve entonces Sociología de la innovación basada en valores. Sería por lo tanto, más allá de una sociología objeto(s), incluyendo debates continuos sobre la teoría de la acción
