Abstract
This Working Paper offers a place-based development perspective to conceptualize the “social economy” as an innovative and inclusive response to contemporary globalization. Economic and social problems find specific expression in different territorial spaces related to local and regional histories, cultures, and institutions, and affect reform strategies. The paper explores links between models of participatory governance and a comprehensive policy agenda for advancing the social and solidarity economy. It develops background concepts and provides illustrative examples of place-based development. (In English, French and Spanish).
