Introduction

Anne Vorre Hansen, Clara Dawe and Anders Folmer Buhelt

A chapter in The Power of Collective Action, 2026, pp 1-4 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This introduction outlines why the current time of poly-crisis calls for social innovation. The argument is that social innovation, understood as people pooling resources for societal change, is the very foundation on which Western democracies are built – and that we need to revitalise this competence and capacity at the individual, organisational and political levels.
