11. The Transnational Lens
Traditional Lenses: Transnational Lenses:
immigration conceptualized as a bipolar relation immigration conceptualized as flows of cross-
between sending and receiving countries (moving border economic, political and social-cultural
from there to here) activities (being here and there)
emigration is the result of individual search for emigration is the result of geopolitical interests,
economic opportunity, political freedom, etc. global linkages, and economic globalization
migrants are assumed to be the poorest of the migrants are not the poorest of the poor nor do
poor they come from the poorest nations
immigrants occupy low-skilled jobs in growth in the service and technology-based jobs
agriculture, construction, and manufacturing create opportunities for low as well as high skilled
migrants
Immigrants steadily shift their contextual focus, After the initial movement, migrants continue to
economic and social activities to receiving maintain ties with their country of origin
country
immigration should not bring about significant immigration creates hybrid societies with a richer
change in the receiving society cultural milieu

14. Innovation Network for Communities
(Governing Ideas)
Mission:
To develop and spread scalable innovations that transform
the performance of community systems.
Vision:
To establish a national network of innovation development
networks with the capacity to:
Develop next-generation innovations in collaboration with
“laboratory” communities; and
Facilitate importing and exporting of innovations by
communities 14
15. INC Core Hypotheses
IT’S A DISCIPLINE. The process of social innovation in
communities can be systematized into a replicable
practice at the community level
SYSTEMS CHANGE REQUIRES INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS.
Systems change at the community level requires the
ability to assemble an “ensemble” of innovations and
integrate them together in a place
COMPLEX SOCIAL INNOVATIONS REQUIRE SPECIALIZED
CAPACITY. Social innovation at the community level can
be supported and accelerated by a network of well-
capitalized social innovation hubs that specialize in the
design and development of social innovations for
community systems
