The authors are defiant that social innovation should be grounded in critical action research, that under a neoliberal system the state's role as a corrector for market failure is constrained, and that underlying political beliefs may determine whether particular social innovation is supported or not. If the COVID-19 crisis has shown us anything it is that states do in fact have the capacity to make radical and drastic changes when the will is there. Moulaert and MacCallum give examples of the best practice on participation and problematising from a number of EU projects, holding up examples where residents and local organisations had a say (and stake) in both the definition of goals, and measures taken to address these within a given initiative. They promote co-construction of ethics as intrinsic to (action) research, being open about the difficulties of joint-problematisation, and innovation that as Mulgan describes is both social in its ends and means. Their key message is that social innovation should never be seen as a better or cheaper alternative to the state, and that "re-democratising state institutions, should be developed interactively" alongside socially innovative practice. In discussing the transformative potential of social innovation, Mulgan notes that "there are decades when nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen". The year 2020 has already provided us with a number of these weeks, showing us that impactful collaboration and drastic restructuring is possible, all that now remains is the political will to allow societies to find the power to change.

Our research has shown that bottom-up models have several barriers to local governments in rural areas. The change in the political and governmental model of the last ten years has resulted in the restraint of local government autonomy and the vacancy of the role of local governments as public service providers. In this system, we can observe the strengthening of administrative dependence, the devaluation of the local elected political leadership (mayors) and the emergence of new rules of local power. In small settlements with less than 2,000 inhabitants, central state and political dependence intensified. Attempts to strengthen local communities have proved to be a major challenge in a highly centralised model of government. The present study gathers the factors that hinder the success of co-creative approaches in the local context and shows how the public service innovations organised by local governments are determined by the political and economic culture prevailing at the national level.

A működésképtelenség határát jelentő hiány van szakképzett szociális munkásokból, nagy a fluktuáció, bizonytalanok a munkakörülmények, folyamatosan csökkennek az ágazatban felhasználható források. Így a humánerőforrás fejlesztése napjainkra kényszerítő szükségletté vált. A szociális életpályamodell – más ágazatokat érintő karriermodellhez hasonlóan – hozzájárulhatna a szociális ágazat humánerőforrásának fejlesztéséhez, a szociális intézmények és szolgáltatások hatékony működéséhez. Az életpályamodellel kapcsolatban azonban a szakmát jelentősen megosztó dilemmák alakultak ki az elmúlt években. Tanulmányunkban ezeknek a dilemmáknak a feltárására vállalkoztunk és kutatásunkban a fókuszcsoportos interjú módszerét alkalmazva arra kerestük a választ, hogy a szociális szakemberek hogyan vélekednek a lassan egy évtizede formálódó életpályamodellről. Támogatnák-e és ha igen, milyen...

Social Land Programmes aim to strengthen self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on social aid by helping people with no financial means to engage with small-scale agriculture. The case study investigated eight rural communities participating in a Social Land Programme. Innovative features include bottom up organisation designed and carried out locally (in contrast to top-down public employment programmes in Hungary). For local leaders, producing food and improving living standard are its main points. They also see various other benefits that include improving the social and physical environment and passing on positive role models within the family. However, they consider national goals of increased employment and self-sustainability to be over optimistic.
Labour market activation and empowerment of the homeless in Poland

Known as ‘Assistance from A to Z’, it concerns a programme intended to equip homeless individuals with competencies and skills to improve self-sufficiency and access the labour market. It is a local project but related to national and EU active inclusion policy and funded through the European Social Fund. An important innovative element is the use of ‘accompaniment’, an idea for intensive individual support that comes from France. In the Polish context, the combined use of a wide range of social and professional support was also innovative. The activation and empowerment of a group of such extremely excluded people as the homeless is demanding and requires intensive, individualised interventions adapted to the needs and capabilities of the beneficiaries. Economic evaluation of this case suggests that it was successful in bringing positive results and was a productive expenditure.

As unemployment became commonplace, the basic paradigm of the distribution of social goods and the existence of existential security, based on the share of work carried out, is also jeopardized. Following the turn of the millennium, with the spread of flexible forms of employment, social security ha...

Ezek egyik hazai formája az utóbbi években mind szélesebb körben ismertté vált tanoda. A tanulmány a rendelkezésre álló szakirodalmak, korábbi kutatások alapján a 20 éve működő tanoda kialakulását meghatározó szükségleteket, a tanodák fejlődésének főbb állomásait, célkitűzéseit, célcsoportjait valamint hátránykompenzáló szerepét és eredményességét vizsgálja.

Az átalakulási folyamat elemzéséhez az egyik legsérülékenyebb társadalmi csoportot, a hajléktalan személyeket érintő szakmai, közéleti és politikai diskurzus vizsgáljuk. E diskurzus néhány részletének elemzésével arra teszünk kísérletet, hogy dokumentáljuk, napjaink Magyarországának jóléti állama folyamatosan újraértelmezi az állampolgárok elemi jólétének biztosítására irányuló állami felelősségvállalást és a szociális biztonsághoz való jog garanciáit.

It was organised and managed by a consortium of social partners established for the purpose. Enterprises were given the opportunity to employ graduates as interns to extend their workforce and to benefit from fresh ideas. The programme was quite a complex one with very limited time available (just under one year). There is some evidence nevertheless of positive effects on various levels although it is too early to assess the numbers and sustainability of new jobs created.
