The Politics of Local Innovation

Some cities manage to mobilize innovation potentials and respond to challenges, such as demographic change and immigration as well as economic restructuring, while others do not. This book solves this problem by answering the following question: what are the conditions for the development of local innovation?

In order to identify these conditions, the book explores case study cities which are perceived as success cases of local innovation by the respective local community, and sometimes also nationally or internationally. The conditions for local innovations are not sought primarily in economic, social, or institutional circumstances. Instead, this book focuses on the communicative interactions by which local actors develop locally embedded knowledge or a specific social imaginary about those circumstances, as well as the constraints and opportunities deriving from them. The authors focus on a comparative case study of ten citiesBensheim, Frankfurt, Kassel, Leipzig, and Offenbach in Germany, and Athens, Chania, Elefsina, Kalamata, and Thessaloniki in Greece. The book is based on content analysis of policy documents and local newspapers as well as in-depth interviews with key local actors.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students of political science and policy analysis, as well as sociology, geography, urban studies, and planning. It will also interest local politicians and bureaucrats concerned with achieving innovation in cities.

1 Introduction About the origin of local innovations

Hubert Heinelt, Bjrn Egner and Nikolaos-Komninos Hlepas

DOI: 10.4324/9781003084006-1

Some cities manage to mobilize innovation potentials and respond effectively to challenges such as demographic change and immigration as well as economic restructuring, while others do not. This book will address the problem of failure to innovate by asking the following question: what are the basic conditions for the development of local innovation? We do not locate these conditions primarily in economic, social, or institutional circumstances, but focus instead on the communicative interactions by means of which local actors develop a locally embedded understanding or knowledge of these conditions as well as the constraints and opportunities deriving from them. It is assumed that this knowledge or imaginary (as it is called by : 130).

1.1 An interpretive approach as a starting point for studying innovations

The focus on the communicative interactions through which local actors develop a locally embedded understanding of constraints and opportunities for innovation is inspired by a socio-constructivist or, more precisely, an interpretative approach. This approach mirrors the new trend toward post-positivist social sciences in general and discursive institutionalism (Discursive institutionalism

acknowledges the importance of ideational structures for constraining which ideas are considered politically viable (or even mentionable), it conceptualizes actors as sentient and critical actors able to critically engage with the ideas they hold ( []), as well as to think, speak and act collectively to (re)construct the structures by which they may be constrained or appear to be determined.

(: 320)

Such an approach implies a certain understanding of actors and their relationship to structures (and thus agency)which Bevir and Phillips (: 695) aptly summarized as follows:

Social facts cannot explain political activity because humans are agents that act on beliefs and desires that are their own. Because humans are agents, social facts do not contain a social logic that explains some outcome. Rather, it is actors ideas that do the explanatory work, including beliefs about interdependence.

Furthermore, interpretive approaches are characterized by a radical departure from variable-based positivism. Interpretive studies are framed against the positivist presupposition that straightforward, matter-of-fact observation would provide ready access to an objective world where meaning was not a problem (: 108):

An earthquake or the falling of a brick is an event that certainly exists, in the sense that it occurs here and now, independently of my will. But whether their specificity as objects is constructed in terms of natural phenomena or expressions of the wrath of God depends upon the structuring of a discursive field.
