Why do social innovations not scale out? A case study of social innovations implemented by rural NGOs from post-socialist Poland
Challenges of smart solutions for rural ageing
This Euro Commentary paper critically examines the implementation of social innovation in addressing rural ageing, focusing on the roles of rural non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local action groups (LAGs). We analyze a project for older rural women developed by a local NGO within one of the southeastern Poland LAGs. Although appreciated by participants, the project ended with its initial funding. Our goal is to identify barriers to sust…
Problems of functioning of Polish local action groups from the perspective of the social capital concept
The LEADER approach was introduced in Poland as part of the LEADER+ Pilot Programme (implemented in the programming period 2004–2006) and, at present, it is being implemented as Axis 4 of the Rural Development Programme. Many researchers are interested in its progress. In their analyses, they use various concepts of social capital. It may be concluded on the basis of the studies published so far that local action groups are dominated by the publi…

The implementation of grassroots product-oriented social innovations by non-governmental organisations
The aim of this article is to present a tool for measuring the implementation of grassroots product-oriented social innovations by non-governmental organisations (NGOs). This tool will enable a quantitative assessment of the activities of NGOs in regard to the implementation of these innovations as well as a comparison of various areas based on the number of organisations which implement these innovations. The validation of the tool was performed…

Collaboration between non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and public institutions, in accordance with the new public governance model, may contribute to actions by such organisations on behalf of both the co-production and co-construction of social services. The aim of this article is to assess the role of selected traits of NGO leaders in determining the chances of collaboration between NGOs and rural gmina offices in central, post-socialist P…

Le chamanisme contemporain shuar se caractérise, d’un côté, par sa plasticité et sa capacité d’adaptation à de nouveaux contextes et, de l’autre par l’hétérogénéité de sa clientèle où le nombre de patients occidentaux est croissant. En l’absence d’un système de représentations partagées et la nécessité d’un discours explicatif, le chamane occupe dans les rituels « néo-chamaniques » d’inspiration New Age, une position paradoxale. De son point de v…
