Opis

With environmental, economic, and social crises increasing, global debate over the nature of development has brought worldwide attention on the still-evolving concept of a social and solidarity economy.
Bringing together leading researchers and thinkers from around the world, Social and Solidarity Economy blends theoretical and empirical analysis and draws on case studies from a variety of countries. In so doing, this volume aims to inform a broad assortment of players, including scholars, practitioners, activists, and policy makers on the important developments in this field."
