Resumo

Dado o seu foco em aumentar a participação, fomenter processos de decisão, e ir ao encontro de desafios locais, a inovação social (IS) partilha algumas características com a idea de desenvolvimento neo-endógeneo, cuja matriz assenta na utilização de recursos e conhecimentos locais e a sua ligação com contextos mais gerais. Através da investigação do caso da região Austríaca de Muehlviertel, este artigo procura analisar as formas como a inovação social pode ser promovida em regiões que praticam formas de desenvolvimento rural neo-endógeneas. Partindo dos dados empíricos recolhidos na região, o artigo conclui que os processos de IS estão alicerçados numa abordagem neo-endógenea ao desenvolvimento da região, criando redes que abarcam todo o território com múltiplos stakeholders, e na qual actividades bottom-up são suportadas e estimuladas. No entanto, o artigo também aponta alguns perigos presentes na acção dos actores regionais na tentativa de promover IS, quer ao nível de limitações burocráticas quer na resistência à inovação.
