Les finances solidaires et l'économie sociale en roumanie: Une réponse de «proximités» à la régionalisation d'une économie en transition

Abstract

Romania seems to be a singular experimented space in the Central andOriental Countries for Social Economy in the EU. Indeed, Romania tries to develop a social-base economic model through its cooperative-based firms and its Not-For-Profit Organizations. In its social and economic transition process, Romania appears like a country where its local-based banking system is concerned more and more with the microfinance institutes. This paper wants to show the capabilities from socialbased finance to work about a local social-based sustainable development. That means that we are in front of a new human side model of development, where human dignity and capabilities are the main issues for a new convivialism model.© 2013 CIRIEC.
