SOCIAL ECONOMY ANALYSIS FROM THE TERRITORIAL POINT OF VIEW: BASQUE COUNTRY, SPAIN, FRANCE AND EUROPE

Abstract

The social economy has been strengthened in a process that stretches over 40 years and this is largely due to the identification of the sector with particular legal entities. The fact that it defined itself in this manner has raised its prominence. It has attained substantial consolidation in the Basque Country, Spain, France, and Europe. Implementation of the concept in these territories owes its success to the deployment of institutional representatives, the development of institutional resolutions, research, and progress on the legal front.
