Summary:

iCOOP presents the case on the history of social and solidarity economy in ROK. In Korea, the term "social economy" is still a very new subject. In fact, in 2017, the social economy in Korea celebrated its 10th anniversary. iCOOP acknowledges and raises awareness on the relative young-ness of Korea's social economy since iCOOP too is a relatively young organization. Yet, at the same time, iCOOP presents how widely social economy has managed to spread in just over a decade. Numerous networks, businesses, and variety of aspects of SSE were established, promoting different values of the alternative economy.
