Présentation

A global challenge needs a global response! This could be the motto of the Social and Solidarity Economy. This book, produced under the direction of Thierry Jeantet, President of the Association of the Mont-Blanc Meetings–The International Forum of the Social and Solidarity Economy Entrepreneurs, is a collection of articles written by actors of the Social and Solidarity Economy coming from several continents. Diversity and plurality. The diversity of the authors of this book, of their profession and country, of their observation angles –some economic, others social or ecological– beyond an intellectual interest, embodies the diversity of the SSE which partly makes its strength.

Extrait du livre

Globalization has become more and more this global civic space which organizes itself. The notion of sustainable development must include it. The Social and Solidarity Economy answers to such an evolution since it offers the citizens-actors (associations), the employees (co-operatives of employees), the consumers (mutuals, co-operatives of consumers) to control their own economic, social and civic destiny; the democratic share of power being more a collective and then a lateral view than a unilateral and authoritarian one. It is interesting to see that more and more unionists or politicians worldwide start realizing it and study this organization model of human activities. As Professor Abdou Salam Fall says in his article « the situations the world has known reveal the emergency of the development within societies…”. The Social and Solidarity Economy precisely contributes to this development « from the inside » encouraging the citizens to have a leading role. It is the citizen emergency.
