Глобальность инновационных процессов
В 1958 году американский социолог Д. Рисман реанимирует термин «постиндустриальное общество», используя его в заголовке одной из статей, которая получила благодаря этому широкую популярность, но имела относительно частный характер.
Не совсем понимаю: статья была рассчитана на узкий круг специалистов или она выражала только взгляды самого автора? Черновой вариант: covered very specific issues/was specific in some respects/comparatively specific (in nature).

was fairly limited in scope
Or, "had a rather narrow focus." Something like that. I think it means that he was looking at "post-industrial society" from the standpoint of just a few parameters (the article was called "Leisure and Work in Post-Industrial Society"), not understand a global examination of p-i society.

Cx. "understand" should have been "undertaking"! Runaway fingers.

: I guess it was addressed to a specialized audience but then was popularized beyond the intended group.

Thanks, Frank. Either that, or he was using the term to refer to only some particular aspects of p-i society (leisure v. work), rather than to this type of society as a whole.

: I'd use "narrow" or even "specialized": "limited" may be misunderstood a pejorative

Thank you, Rachel for drawing my attention to the blunder I made. Yes, indeed, you´re right make me realize I made a blunder. Yes indeed, you´re right, I mistook the word for частый.
