“…Action research in general, and CUAR in particular, also emphasises the need for the democratisation of knowledge production. This is in line with critical and people-centred approaches to social innovation (Moulaert et al, 2013;Hulgaard and Shajahan, 2013). Action research projects unite theory and practice, meaning that theoretical or scientific knowledge is brought into a dialogue with practical everyday life knowledge in the research design.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce the reader to the Nordic tradition of Critical Utopian Action Research (CUAR) and to demonstrate how CUAR might reinvigorate participatory democracy as an intrinsic characteristic of social enterprise. This leads us to sketch out the beginnings of how researchers might work with communities to help realise their democratic impulses through social enterprise. Design/methodology/approach This paper aims to synthesise the participatory action research literature, particularly CUAR, with literature on social enterprise and democracy to demonstrate how the two approaches might fruitfully be combined. Findings The authors show how CUAR might be utilised by researchers, to articulate new social enterprise organisational responses to local problems or to reinvigorate democracy within existing social enterprises. Originality/value This exploratory paper marks (we believe) the first attempt to bring together social enterprise and CUAR.

“…Therefore, the radical approach does not exclude social movements as a possible means of social innovation and envisions collaborative integration between social movements and other social innovation activities. At the same time, it is necessary to negotiate different needs among various social groups through public deliberation and decision-making, which is also a political process (Hulgård and Shajahan 2013).…”

Social Innovation in Taiwan

Taiwan began to systematically introduce social innovation as a tool for social reform after the 2008 financial crisis. Although most research on social innovation in Taiwan focuses on problem-solving methods based on the utilitarian perspectives of the public and private sectors, an analytical framework from the societal perspective is proposed in this article. We classify social innovation conducted by the public, private, and civil society sectors as either incremental or radical. This article seeks to provide an overview of the development of social innovation in Taiwan and to answer two main questions. First, how do Taiwan’s government and the private sector mainstream incremental social innovation, and what is its influence? Second, how does a radical approach emerge under this influence? This article illustrates how political and social contexts shape the development of social innovation and uses deliberative democracy in practice as a case study to show how radical social innovation emerges and develops.

“…The first is characterised by market orientation and privatisation of the public sector's responsibility for welfare (Gilbert, 2002;Borzaga & Santuari, 2003;Hulgård & Andersen, 2012). The second is based on both social movements and public programmes concerned with experimenting with new forms of collective responsibility, solidarity and political development input based on civil society Hulgård & Shajahan, 2012). In both the market trend and the civil society trend, social entrepreneurship is a current response to the social challenges faced by the world.…”

“…The observation of movements and tensions in the SE field has also been inspired by international development debates linked to both social work (Desai, Monteiro & Narayan, 1998;Ho & Yen, 2010;Hulgård & Shajahan, 2012) and a view of social innovation based on a strong process perspective Moulaert, Jessop, Hulgård & Hamdouch, 2012). So is social entrepreneurship largely an expression of effective and innovative production of social services on the premisses of the existing market, or does it comprise a utopian horizon for the development of more participatory and inclusive practices linked to social movements and the possibility of a more sustainable and inclusive society?…”
