Abstract

Klassische Struktur- und Innovationspolitik stößt in der Polykrise an Grenzen - gerade strukturschwache Regionen brauchen gesellschaftliche Innovationsfähigkeit, um aus eigener Kraft zukunftsfähige Entwicklungspfade zu eröffnen. Wer das Potenzial gesellschaftlicher Innovativität in Wert setzen will, muss sechs Dimensionen in den Blick nehmen: geteilte Werte und Normen, kollektive Fähigkeiten, Machtbeziehungen, Handlungsfähigkeit auf Systemebene, Narrative und Imaginationen sowie exogene Faktoren. Gesellschaftliche Innovation ist kein Selbstläufer: Sie entsteht nur dort, wo Transformationsprozesse gezielt initiiert, realisiert, mitgetragen und verstetigt werden, um gemeinsam gestaltet dauerhaft in der Region verankert zu werden.
