The researchers of the TRANSIT project – a EU-cofinanced research project that will develop a theory of transformative social innovation which is about empowerment and change in society – completed the second batch of case studies, which looked at eight transnational social innovation networks. This brings the total number of studied networks to 20, including 40 local manifestations spread across Europe and Latin America. The analysis resulted in a 300-page report with two main parts.

Part 1 of the report gives an overview and a comparative analysis of the findings from the 20 case study reports in TRANSIT about aspects of transformative social innovation (TSI). Part 2 of the report consists of extended abstracts of 8 papers which either focus on empirical phenomena surfacing in different TRANSIT cases, take a societal or methodological issue as starting point, address propositions from TRANSIT proto-theory, build upon thematic clusters used for case selection or inductively develop specific sensitizing concepts further.

The report ist available here.
