A economia solidária: Um movimento internacional

Abstract

This article shows how a solidarity economy movement has arisen in different national and continental contexts. The diversity of practices embedded in local and international civil society networks should be underlined. Emerging in the last decades, this generation of associations and cooperatives, assuming political and economic dimensions, has extended the social economy and provided concrete proposals for another economy in a period of capitalist crisis. Thus, it has to be integrated in the research of a renewed economic model and public action.
