Synthesis across social innovation case studies: Deliverable 4.4 - Part 1

Part 1 is an overview and a comparative analysis of the findings from the 20 casestudy reports in TRANSIT about aspects of transformative social innovation (TSI). Each of the 20 reports, which the report is based on, includes an analysis of a transnational social innovation network and at least two local social innovation initiatives. Part 2 consists of extended abstracts of 8 papers which either focus on empiricalphenomena surfacing in different TRANSIT cases (e.g. alternative economic arrangements), take a societal or methodological issue as starting point (e.g. inclusivity or research relations), address propositions from TRANSIT proto-theory (institutionalization dialectics, responses to crisis), build upon thematic clusters used for case selection (e.g. spaces for/of innovation, inclusive society, new economy, transformative science) or inductively develop specific sensitizing concepts further (e.g. narratives of change).
