[governance] RE: [JoCI] New Special Issue: Community Informatics and Co-Creation of Innovation

Thu May 2 12:05:37 EDT 2013

Since one of the dominant rationales and underlying themes concerning the current discussions/structures of global Internet Governance is concerned with issues of "Innovation" this special issue of the Journal of Community Informatics is perhaps of particular interest from several perspectives.  

The special issue presents an alternative/expanded view of the meaning and nature of innovation, where those who are generally seen as the object of innovation in fact, become the subject of innovation (innovators) and where innovation is seen as a bottom up rather than top down process. 

It does I think, further suggest the need/opportunity for an expanded understanding of the nature and significance of innovation and including who could/should be understood as "stakeholders" in the multi-stakeholder processes where innovations including or especially technical (informatics) applications are framed and undertaken. 

Finally, the special issue also includes a number of alternative approaches and conceptions of "innovation" and suggests that just as with multi-stakeholderism, the conventional approach to the determination/definition of "innovation" would merit significant scrutiny and extension to include those at the grassroots often overlooked in such processes and analyses.
