Local SSE Policies enabling the Socio-Ecological Transition - an International Collection of 17 working papers



Local SSE Policies enabling the Socio-Ecological Transition

an International Collection of 17 working papers
 
Local SSE Policies enabling Socio-Ecological Transition brings together seventeen working papers in response to a call for papers launched by the GSEF's Research Working Group. Coming from all corners of the world, these papers provide an overview of various direct and indirect local public policies supporting the social and solidarity economy. The scale varies, ranging, for example, from small municipalities (El Hoyo) to larger cities (Bordeaux, Grenoble, Montreal). The texts also identify contexts where local policies are derived from policies developed at higher levels, such as provincial (Gangwon) or national (Morocco, Haiti) policies. Finally, the examples demonstrate the great diversity of the SSE, ranging from a cultural festival in a rural area (Italy) to community and municipal banks (Brazil). This multilingual collection brings together texts written in English, Spanish, and French, and highlights the processes of (co-)constructing local policies through experiences of institutionalizing the social and solidarity economy, which sometimes involve collaboration with actors in the field and sometimes political appropriation.

Coordination : Timothée Duverger (Sciences Po Bordeaux) and Marguerite Mendell (Karl Polanyi Institute)
