Radicalising public services: A comparative analysis of two municipalist experiments in the Basque Country and Catalonia
What would a socially transformative public service provision look like? This article addresses this question in two ways: by advancing a theoretical proposal of ‘radical’ services as a set of prefigurative practices that, within and beyond the local state, redefine the public domain through collective and participatory forms of management and control; and by analysing two experiences in the Basque Country (Hernani) and Catalonia (Cardedeu) that …
Economía social y solidaria y crisis ecosocial: La intercooperación como herramienta para avanzar en las transiciones
In the current context of eco-social crisis, the capitalist system seems incapable of dealing with problems that it itself has generated. Therefore, the social and solidarity economy (SSE) can play an important role, by proposing to organize the economy under alternative social relations of production, distribution, consumption and financing, based on justice, cooperation, reciprocity and mutual aid, aimed at democratizing the economy. This artic…
Contribuciones de la economía social y solidaria a las transiciones ecosociales. Experiencias en Europa y América Latina
To face the eco-social crisis caused by the capitalist model of production and consumption, we need eco-social transitions towards fair and sustainable models. The social and solidarity economy (SSE) is positioned as a key alternative that promotes economic practices based on cooperation, equity and sustainability. This monograph brings together articles that highlight the contributions of SSE initiatives to eco-social transitions in various regi…
Experiencias de transición ecosocial en Ecuador desde la economía social solidaria y la agroecología
Based on the analysis of two ecosocial transition initiatives in Ecuador, inscribed in the principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) and agroecology, we seek to contribute to the global debate on ecosocial transitions from a Southern perspective. The article discusses the key points for ecosocial transitions to take place in terms of radical alternativity. To this end, we study three dimensions: i) alternative economic relations, ii) …
Beyond the New Municipalism: Towards Post‐Capitalist Territorial Sovereignty in the Case of Hernani Burujabe
The so‐called new municipalism has spread in different geographical settings as an attempt to democratise the economy and politics in the local sphere, in response to contemporary capitalist contradictions. However, it has encountered political, economic, and scale limitations that have prevented it from consolidating alternatives for territorial transformation. This paper presents the concept of territorial sovereignty as an analytical tool that…
Family farmers' strategies to develop autonomy through agroecological and solidarity economy practices: The case of BioVida in the Ecuadorian Andes
Considering the global restructuring affecting agrarian landscapes, we build on the concept of autonomy proposed by van der Ploeg and colleagues (but extended and critically complemented) to analyse how family farmers can build this autonomy to face rural capitalist tendencies and maintain their activities and identity. We offer insights from a case study in the Ecuadorian Andes, the BioVida organization that is linked to agroecological and socia…
Twenty-five years of social multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE) in the search for sustainability: Analysis of case studies
Social multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE) is a decision-making tool used in complex and uncertain social-ecological \ncontexts such as those related to the management of natural resources and sustainability. It has been widely used \nsince it was devised twenty-five years ago, but no comprehensive reviews exist for case studies specifically \nconsidering sustainability. Therefore, the aim of this study is twofold: first, to review the principles of…
Convergences between the Social and Solidarity Economy and Sustainable Development Goals: Case Study in the Basque Country
This article analyzes the potential of the social and solidarity economy (SSE) to foster the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Local public policies play an important role in supporting both the SSE and SDGs. We select a case study of four SSE projects of a local development agency in the Basque Country, where the SSE has a considerable presence through diverse forms and experiences. We address how these projects, which are implemented in a c…
"The social and solidarity economy as a way to "buen vivir
The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) encompasses a wide range of economic endeavors and logics with the potential to deploy alternative «economies» —in varying degrees— to the capitalist system. The ESS is an indispensable reference to move from conventional development models to the paradigm of buen vivir. In this article, it is showed which are the principles of the SSE and to what extent they converge with the dimensions and Good Living Obj…
Buen Vivir vs Development (II): The Limits of (Neo-)Extractivism
Buen Vivir vs Development: A paradigm shift in the Andes
The concept of development and the ways of achieving it have been widely criticised from various viewpoints. In the face of the apparent obsolescence of long-standing models, the novel Buen Vivir approach (roughly translated as ‘living well’ or ‘good living’), which has arisen in different parts of Latin America, may offer an alternative paradigm. However, the implementation of policies that could lead to this Buen Vivir model requires profound c…
