Social entrepreneurship in the pacific alliance

Abstract

In recent years there has been a growing interest in social entrepreneurship even though there is some confusion or controversy about its meaning. Most of the literature recognizes the importance of the articulation of various factors within a favorable ecosystem. In spite of this, there are still very few studies related to this subject in Latin America. That is why this article establishes links to the importance of the Pacific Alliance as a regional integration space for the promotion of such initiatives. Based on the analysis of official documents and interviews with decision makers, factors were identified that, within the framework of the Pacific Alliance, facilitate the consolidation of social entrepreneurship processes.
