These initiatives share common characteristics: they are autonomous organizations and enterprises; they value service to the community over profit; they rely on voluntary participation and democratic governance. Where markets and states fail, social economy organizations bring about social innovation and change. Social economy initiatives intend to answer to people's needs and aspirations, always and everywhere. For a better knowledge and understanding of the social economy, this book offers a broad view on the recent changes and innovations in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. The contributions cover various topics, such as social protection, fair trade and microfinance. Several chapters deal with the delicate relation with the state (in Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Brazil and Venezuela); others present a special focus on important new regional dynamics (in Africa, China, Europe and the United States).
