尽管当前的话语将社会创新作为一种规范的商品来推动，但在实践中，它受到了制度化的思维、行为和组织方式的高度质疑。同时刺激和抵制创新造成了相互冲突的交流信号的“双重束缚”，削弱了联合意义形成和可持续变化的能力。我开发了一个元理论框架，解释了这些变化和阻力的关系动态中涉及的内容，如何评估和改进这些动态，以及为什么双重约束既需要也抑制了实质性的变化。在分析阿姆斯特丹社区治理案例中的关系动态时，我认为，社会创新者应该做好准备，建设性地面对理性主义的评估、防御性和经验主义的超然，而机构行为者应该欢迎城市治理中制度化的等级和竞争动态的根本性关系变革。
While current discourse promotes social innovation as a normative good, in practice it is highly contested by institutionalised ways of thinking, acting and organising. Concurrently stimulating and resisting innovation creates a ‘double bind’ of conflicting communicative signals that weaken capacities for joint sense making and sustainable change. I develop a meta-theoretical framework that explains what is involved in these relational dynamics of change and resistance, how these can be assessed and improved, and why the double bind both necessitates and inhibits substantive change. Analysing relational dynamics in a case of neighbourhood governance in Amsterdam, I argue that social innovators should be prepared to constructively confront rationalistic evaluation, defensiveness, and experiential detachment while institutional actors should welcome fundamental relational transformations of hierarchical and competitive dynamics institutionalised in urban governance.
