Abstract

SARRIA ICAZA, Ana Mercedes. Acción colectiva, espacio público y economía solidaria en el sur de Brasil. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2009, vol.4, n.7, pp.30-63. ISSN 1870-4115.  https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2009.7.183.

This text analyzes the process of emergence and organization of the solidary economy in Brazil, taking as reference the experience of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in which a series of factors —related to history, the social and political dynamic, and local actors — converge with broader processes in the national and international spheres and make possible the significant expansion of what here is called the popular solidary economy. The article identifies a set of contradictions and challenges presented today for the solidary economy, as a space of collective action integrated in processes of construction and expansion of democracy, in which it is no longer possible to disassociate the social, the political and the economic.

Keywords : Popular solidary economy; collective action; democracy.
