Résumé
The term “innovation” is frequently used in both public and scientific debates. However, at first glance, its meaning is extremely fuzzy. This is true even for its use in political science in general and in policy analysis in particular. Nevertheless, if different meanings of innovation are examined, a particular concept behind the term “innovation” can be identified. At the same time, it becomes clear that, with few exceptions, the term is often used in a way that is surprisingly detached from the social context to which it refers. The main aim of this contribution to the forum section of the journal is to show that it is crucial to consider the social, and thus also the temporal, context in which innovations take place – and thereby to understand innovations from the perspective of the actors who consider them necessary and who implement them. This is done by using concrete examples from a recently finished research project.
