“…We use the definition given by the Center for Research on Social Innovations-CRISES (UQAM, Canada), as follows: "an intervention initiated by social actors to respond to an aspiration, meet a need, provide a solution or take advantage of an opportunity for action in order to modify social relations, transform a framework for action or propose new cultural orientations". The local level constitutes a privileged place for the emergence of these social innovations, which are recognized as context specific [82,83].…”

Over several decades, medium-sized industrial towns have suffered from a combination of economic and political processes: Deindustrialization, metropolization, and withdrawal of public services. After two decades in which they have been somewhat neglected (in favor of metropolises), there have recently been State and European public policies aimed at them. Medium-sized cities are not homogeneous and present several trajectories. Based on quantitative approach in France, we highlight the very diverse socio-economic dynamics of French medium-sized industrial towns. Thus, far from widespread decline or shrinking dynamics, some of these cities are experiencing an economic rebound. This is the case of Romans-sur-Isère, a medium-sized town located in the south-east of France. Focusing our qualitative analyze on this city, we try to understand this type of process. In this medium-sized town, former capital of the shoe industry, local stakeholders, private, and public try to support a productive renewal. The results of our case study highlight the role that cooperation, spatial and organizational proximity, and social innovation could play in the renewal of productive economy in medium-sized industrial towns. Even if the economic situation remains difficult for many medium-sized cities in France as in Europe, we argue that they could have a productive future making and ultimately take advantages of their “medium-sized” attributes.

“…En el segundo caso, la apelación a la innovación social se asocia con los esfuerzos de empoderamiento que emprende por sí misma la sociedad civil y que pueden alcanzar un impacto significativo no solo en la comunidad de referencia, sino en las instituciones sociales y los organismos públicos que operan a diferentes escalas territoriales (Klein et al, 2014). En este caso, la referencia principal son las innovaciones sociales que tienen un recorrido de abajo-arriba (modelo "bottom-up") y que surgen desde los entornos y los espacios no institucionalizados, enfrentándose tanto a la inexistencia de las instituciones públicas, como a la rigidez burocrática de las instituciones públicas en general y de los Estados en particular (Van Dyck y Van den Broeck, 2013; Zubero, 2015).…”

La tesis principal es que el concepto de innovación social está afectado por muchas indefiniciones que derivan de las controversias irresueltas que acompañan a su éxito. Está de moda y corre peligro de que se transforme en el “recurso para todo”, como si fuese el antídoto al que se recurre ante cualquier situación. En estos casos, el espacio puede estar ocupado por una retórica vacía de contenido, como si el papel de concepto contenedor rebajase las posibilidades teóricas, empíricas y analíticas del concepto. La salvación del concepto está en el regreso a la investigación social, a las metodologías y marcos analíticos que proporciona la teoría social y a la verificación empírica de todo aquello que dice ser y proporcionar. Para ello, resulta trascendente que se aborden un conjunto de controversias irresueltas que actualmente emergen en los debates sobre la innovación social.

“…The more radical view refers to Moulaert's definition of social innovation (Moulaert et al, 2005; also see Klein et al, 2014) as grassroots initiatives that develop to satisfy unmet basic human needs, to empower excluded social groups and communities to access social and citizenship rights, to change power relations and to transform governance practices. It includes the potential for resistance to welfare dismantlement and the neo-liberal agenda.…”
