“…Active citizenship in the city does not only impact the environment but also raises questions on how cities should be governed [21]. Many citizens become active not only to realize direct environmental or societal values and benefits, but also to transform existing governance practices, for example by demanding more democracy, urban greening, or a deeper transition towards sustainability [1,22,23]. In this context, Isin [24] distinguishes between 'active' and 'activist' citizenship to highlight how 'activist' citizens also aim for more fundamental societal change.…”

“…On the first level, one of the main arguments that supports the political relevance of the third sector deals with its positive role in developing the democratic capacities of citizens (Warren 2003) or, in other words, to be one of the most relevant "schools of citizenship" (Clemens 2006) in Western societies. Within nonprofit organizations, as more generally in civic enterprises, citizens are involved into policy-making and service delivery in a more direct and intimate way than in other form of participation (Wagenaar and Healey 2015;Madanipour and Davoudi), thus discovering and learning the principles of active citizenship or, in Putnam et al (1993) terms, civic engagement. Nonprofit organizations are often considered among the most important agencies for political socialization (Gimpel et al 2003).…”

“…Not all participatory organizations sustain values consistent with democracy nor are all voluntary associations or nonprofit organizations participatory in the degree assumed by many celebrations of Tocqueville" (Clemens 2006, p. 208). Though not denying the "transformative potential" (Wagenaar and Healey 2015) of associations, nonprofits and civic enterprises, many scholars in the last two decades have underlined that the market can bring about an under-exploitation of such a potential if not its disappearance. Several researches focusing mainly-though not exclusively-on the US case (Weisbrod 2000;Eikenberry and Kluver 2004;Skocpol 1997Skocpol , 2013Eliasoph 1998) have shown that the processes of professionalization and marketization have brought nonprofits closer to the model of the firm, weakening their political role and the ability to generate social capital, as stated in this illustrative quote by Nickel and Eikenberry:…”

“…Embedding involves the alignment of efforts, strategies and agendas/goals between transition initiatives and local government across scales (Horsford and Sampson 2014, p. 961;Garcia et al 2015). Embedding is enabled by the recognition from the public sector to alter practices and be more responsive and receptive/dialectic to innovative practices coming from other actors (Boyer 2015, p. 322;Healey 2015;Healey and Vigar 2015;Frantzeskaki and Kabisch 2016). Overall, embedding captures the extent to which transition initiatives strategically shape the context in which they operate (Moss et al 2014).…”

“…Calhoun 2012, p. 27). These characteristics of rapid experimentation adapted to the local context make civil society function as a driver of sustainability transitions (Boyer 2015;Burggraeve 2015;Bussu and Bartels 2014;Calhoun 2012;Carmin et al 2003;Cerar 2014;Christmann 2014;Creamer 2015;Foo et al 2015;Forrest and Wiek 2015;Fuchs and Hinderer 2014;Garcia et al 2015;Kothari 2014;Magnani and Osti 2016;Seyfang and Smith 2007;Seyfang and Longhurst 2013;Seyfang et al 2014;Touchton and Wampler 2014;Verdini 2015;Zajontz and Laysens 2015;Walker et al 2014;Warshawsky 2014;Wagenaar and Healey 2015).…”
