Abstract: Grassroots innovations provide a significant contribution to sustainability transitions. They differ from other innovations as they originate in civil society and are mostly inspired by ideological values. In the literature on grassroots innovation there is no systematic analysis of most prominent processes at supra-local and global scale, including mainstreaming. Mainstreaming is often characterized by ideological conflicts between actors that bring along different interpretations and divergent practices of the same grassroots innovation.
