Theorizing Social Innovation to Address Marginalization

A Regional Perspective on Social Exclusion in European Regions: Context, Trends and Policy Implications

“…The theoretical literature highlights the multidimensionality of the problem, that involves economic, social, political and cultural aspects of disadvantage and deprivation, resulting into limited access to employment, social services and community life (Bradshaw, 2004). Social exclusion deprives individuals of various rights and opportunities that are normally available to all citizens, like access to housing, health care, civic commitment, political participation and cultural integration (Chakravarty & D'Ambrosio, 2006;von Jacobi et al, 2017). A multidimensional approach is thus required in order to measure and evaluate social exclusion (Fisher, 2011;Giambona and Vassallo, 2014;Ciommi et al, 2017).…”

An exploration of the youths perception toward social entrepreneurship development: Evidence from Bangladesh

“…Social entrepreneurs are the people who have an innovative solution for the various social problems present in the society which have been neglected by different agencies (Banodia & Dubey, 2017). The broad view of entrepreneurship presents the multidimensional nature of human beings (von Jacobi et al, 2017).

Social entrepreneurs use ideas and make groundbreaking solutions to overcome social problems (von Jacobi et al, 2017). They utilize personal leadership skills and the capacity to solve problems that arise in particular communities or regions.…”

Interdisciplinariedad en la innovación social frente a la despoblación rural

“…Así, la naturaleza de la innovación social constituye una orientación para avanzar en el desarrollo social entendido como mejora de la calidad de vida (Pol & Ville, 2009). La innovación social jugaría un rol transformador de los sistemas sociales, teniendo un gran potencial para proporcionar soluciones a necesidades sociales que el actual sistema no atiende de forma adecuada, como puede ser la despoblación (Von Jacobi et al, 2017).…”

“…En la innovación social se ha reconocido también una importante dimensión espacial como proceso territorializado y localmente específico (Van Dyck & Van den Broeck, 2013;Moulaert, 2009) debido a su fuerte conexión a contextos concretos, lo que da forma y carácter a los procesos de innovación social (Evers y Brandsen, 2016;Von Jacobi et al, 2017). Este carácter territorial destaca la importancia de las innovaciones sociales como experiencias a pequeña escala (Evers & Ewert 2015) y pone de manifiesto la importancia de su desarrollo en territorios frágiles, como son las áreas rurales despobladas.…”
