HARRISSON, Denis; COMEAU-VALLEE, Mariline e CHAARI, Nizar. Analysis of an innovative cross-sectorial practice: Public enterprises and associations for the protection of consumer rights. Finisterra [online]. 2012, n.94, pp.29-48. ISSN 0430-5027.

The project is conceived as a social innovation, i.e., an initiative involving local actors to create alliances with other means of intervention in order to solve a problem. This type of relationship is based on cooperation between various actors, when institutions are unable to resolve the situation to the satisfaction of the parties involved. These partnerships represent organisational settings conducive to innovation. The current article analyses a case under the following perspectives that are essential to understand the social innovation process: the context, the problematization, the actors, the exchanges and the coalition
