“…At this stage, since some decades ago, there is a call for a more holistic approach to address development and environmental issues. Initiatives taken by local bottom-up movements of members of the (societal and business) community are claimed to be useful for creating economic restructuring dynamics, and generating benefits including special socially oriented area-based collective action and programmes (MacCallum et al, 2009). These have been led by various types of public actors (civil society and state) and have often followed an 'integrated' logic of development.…”

“…These have been led by various types of public actors (civil society and state) and have often followed an 'integrated' logic of development. A main direction to explore in this sense is the synergic cooperation: social relations of territorial development which take into account contextual socio-political factors, especially, the nature of the strategic actors (MacCallum et al, 2009). SI is a valuable tool for environmental management (European Commission, 2014), but largely neglected in this specific area.…”

“…Firms deal with environmental issues ranging from ecotourism to not addressing the subject at all. Critical visions -and especially from critical discourse theory-on traditional environmental tools in tourism proliferate (Hillary, 2004;Melnyck et al, 2003;Zhu, et al, 2013a;Hertin et al, 2008;MacCallum et al, 2009). The weak link between the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) and other systems and performance is a serious issue if EMAS's are considered as serving as a substitute for any kind of policy instruments.…”

“…The wider the area, the higher the required capability will be. MacCallum explicitly explains the importance of territorial conditions for the dynamics of economic prosperity, fragmentation of social capital, and quality barriers to public policy delivery systems [5]. This territory is related to geographical conditions and the effectiveness of public services [6].…”

This study attempts to describe archetypes of governance in archipelagic parts of a region, as geographical conditions are a major challenge for the local government. The problem of governance in archipelagic parts of a region is characterized as a systemic problem, so the standard pattern of system behavior must be known. Systems archetype basics are the right tool to describe complex systemic situations such as those faced by local governments in the archipelago. Systems archetype has contributed effectively to understanding the dynamics of the system until the leverage variables are found to engineer the limiting factor. The resulted storyline has been able to identify several subsystems, which are then integrated into the governance system in archipelagic region. Geographical and weather conditions as limiting factors that affect the accessibility of the region and the availability of infrastructure. Therefore, infrastructure improvement as the leverage. So, the provision of infrastructure encourages regional accessibility and acceleration of development in archipelagic parts.

“…SI has been instrumental in citizen-based activity associated with reducing emissions or increasing renewable energy production (Harnmejjer et al 2018), but remains a contested concept. MacCallum et al (2009) see reconfiguration of social practices, institutions and networks as key elements of social innovation where civil society agency creates new ways of responding to crises and opportunities. We concur with this conceptualization, which is broadly matched by later commentators (Cajaiba-Santana 2014).…”

Social innovation in community energy in Europe: a review of the evidence

Citizen-driven Renewable Energy (RE) projects of various kinds, known collectively as community energy (CE), have an important part to play in the worldwide transition to cleaner energy systems. On the basis of evidence from literature review and an exploratory survey of 8 European countries, we investigate European CE through the lens of Social Innovation (SI). Broadly, three main phases of SI in CE can be identified. The environmental movements of the 1960s and the “oil shocks” of the 1970s provided the catalyst for a series of innovative societal responses around energy and self-sufficiency. These first wave CE innovations included cooperatives (e.g. in Sweden and Germany) who financed and managed risks for RE developments in the absence of support from governments and banks. A second wave of SI relates to the mainstreaming of RE and associated government support mechanisms. In this phase, with some important exceptions, successful CE initiatives were mainly confined to those countries where they were already embedded as innovators in the previous phase. In former communist countries of central and eastern Europe (Poland, former East Germany) CE development was hindered by societal mistrust of cooperative movements for their association with the state socialism of the past. In Scotland, UK, strong public support was given to CE, and a new form, the Community Development Trust, emerged and was later replicated elsewhere in the UK.The third phase of CE innovation relates to the societal response to the Great Recession that began in 2007-8 and lasted most of the subsequent decade. Though climate change had become a pressing concern, CE initiatives formed around this time were also strongly focused around democratization of energy and citizen empowerment in the context of rising energy prices, a weak economy, and a production and supply system dominated by excessively powerful multinational energy firms. CE initiatives today are more diverse than at any time previously, and though seriously constrained by mainstream energy policy in most countries, are likely to continue to act as incubators for pioneering initiatives addressing virtually all aspects of energy.
