ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how public action and campaigning can generate non-ideal principles of justice. The nature of such principles is not compatible with theoretical construction as a method of generating normative frameworks of innovation and development. Rather, public action and campaigning constitute the source of our three normative principles of inclusive innovation, i.e. equity, recognition and participation. These principles can be justified on the grounds of social relations which are presupposed in the generation and diffusion of new knowledge for pro-poor products and processes. Inclusive innovation for development can be achieved through the application of equity, recognition and participation in the realms of both the production and distribution of novel goods and services.
