State-supported ecosystems and cooperative democracy
Purpose In light of South Korea's state-supported expansion of social cooperatives, this paper explores how members experience the balance between public value and cooperative principles. Design/methodology/approach Using Q methodology (which models shared viewpoints from rank-ordered statements), 70 worker-members from five cooperatives (Seoul, summer 2023) sorted 36 statements mapped to environmental, social–internal, social–external and govern…
Intersecting Identities
The emergence of state-sanctioned worker-run social cooperatives as a government-certified social enterprise model in South Korea, functioning simultaneously as worker cooperatives, represents an evolutionary shift in the country’s cooperative movement. Enabled by the enactment of important regulatory frameworks, including the 2006 Social Enterprise Promotion Act and the 2012 Framework Act on Cooperatives, these novel hybrid organizational forms …
Dix ans après
La Loi sur l’ESS de 2014 a apporté une reconnaissance juridique à un modèle organisationnel s’appuyant sur des principes fondamentaux dont la gouvernance démocratique ou participative, la non lucrativité ou lucrativité encadrée. À partir des travaux statistiques, cet article souligne que si cette loi a incontestablement contribué à la lisibilité de l’ESS, les données chiffrées révèlent que le secteur ne s’est pas accompagné du développement atten…
Building a Better World

Social Enterprises Within the Public Sector’s Purview
This study applies a hierarchical clustering approach to identify social enterprise models that have appeared in a setting of public sector-led incubation. Within such a context, a high degree of conformity ought to be apparent due to the coercive isomorphic pressures associated with public sector patronage. We nominate South Korea for our analysis, given that the rising number of social enterprises in the country is closely related to a regulato…

South Korean social enterprises and their networks
Social enterprise and government interactions have become an increasingly prominent theme in the literature on social entrepreneurship, due in part to the pressures confronting the welfare state and the rise of precarious work. This analysis is motivated by the efforts of the government of South Korea to incubate social enterprises since 2007. The constant scaling of the South Korean government's monitored social enterprise certification scheme h…
Encouraging democratic and citizen debate on numerical data on the social and solidarity economy
Au cours des deux dernières décennies, la mesure du poids de l’économie sociale et solidaire (ESS) a suscité un intérêt croissant de la part de divers acteurs aux niveaux national et international, sur la base de méthodologies et de cadres de référence diversifiés qui ne sont pas toujours clairement identifiés ni questionnés par ceux qui les utilisent, alors même qu’ils véhiculent parfois des normes implicites. Les auteurs analysent les questions…

Une analyse socio‐économique de la trajectoire institutionnelle de l'entreprise sociale
As a unique case in Asia, South Korea has developed for about 15 years a complex eco‐system for encouraging the promotion of various forms of social enterprises, i.e. enterprises pursuing a social aim and/or operating under a democratic governance. This paper analyses the institutional trajectory of social enterprise in Korea and its close relation with the concept of social economy. A socio‐economic analysis of this trajectory reveals that it is…
Rethinking the SSE enterprise in light of CSR and the Pacte law
Depuis les dérives de la financiarisation des entreprises, la mission de l’entreprise évolue pour tenter de mieux prendre en compte les impacts liés à son activité. La loi de 2014 relative à l’ESS dénotait déjà une reconnaissance et un intérêt pour les entreprises reposant sur une logique autre que la seule rémunération des actionnaires. Désormais, les structures soucieuses de montrer leur engagement sociétal ont le choix d’opter pour un statut d…

Diversity of Social Enterprise Models in South Korea
In this paper, we analyse the emergence and development of social enterprise in South Korea. Our purpose is to show how different broad, consensual and successive conceptions of social enterprise—the so-called meta-models—have generated a dynamic and complex environment which includes a variety of models of social enterprise. Based on multiple data sources, including interviews, documents, statistics and field research, we illustrate the diversit…

Nouvelles formes de protection sociale
Depuis l'entrée du pays dans l'OCDE en 1996 et la crise de la fin des années 1990, sous l'influence d'une société civile dynamique, la Corée du Sud s'est engagée dans un développement de son système de protection sociale. L'article montre que cette évolution s'accompagne de l'émergence de nouveaux modes de partenariat entre pouvoirs publics nationaux et locaux et acteurs privés, contribuant ainsi à la construction d'une nouvelle forme de welfare …
Overcoming Labor Market Problems and Providing Social Services
The situation of the Korean labor market and welfare system evolved in the 2000s during a period that witnessed civil society playing a prominent role both as a provider of welfare and an inspirer for the implementation of welfare schemes (Labor Market and Welfare System in South Korea section). Emergence of a New Form of Collaboration Between Civil Society and Government section details the process that led to the installation of an ambitious mi…

The study on which this paper is based was a large scale comparative analysis of developments of these social enterprise in 12 European countries While there are clear differences in national cont…
Social protection in the Republic of Korea
As reported in numerous studies, the system of social protection in the Republic of Korea long remained underdeveloped because of the priority given instead to economic growth. The past few years have seen major changes, however. The government decided to apply the theory of “productive welfare”, thereby committing itself to introducing a system of universal statutory social insurance which is intended to set the seal on a new social compact and …

Given a country known for sacrificing social welfare in favour of growth, the measures taken constitute a decisive turn that may crown the emergence of new social …

Explaining the Third Sector in South Korea
The paper presents the main characteristics and the distinctive nature of the South Korean third sector compared to most Western countries. Differences are explained in terms of cultural embededdness and political embededdness—in particular with respect to the import of Confucianism (or neo-Confucianism) and of human rights abuse in articulation with a strong ideology of anticommunism that has been developed by a succession of dictatorial regimes…

Économie sociale et nouveaux pays industrialisés
For more than 30 years, South Korea has experienced exceptional economic growth. In the context of such an accomplishment, is any room left for the social economy organizations? The analysis of available legal and economic data shows that whereas these organizations have a nonnegligible place in the Korean economy, on the one hand their role is limited in comparison with their western counterparts, and on the other hand the boundaries between pub…
Économie sociale, nouvelle économie sociale et sociologie économique
Un des segments constitutifs du tiers secteur aujourd’hui, l’économie sociale a vu le jour il y a longtemps déjà. Mais sa définition – discipline académique ou secteur économique ? – est loin d’être consensuelle. L’auteur restitue ici les termes des débats qui ont accompagné la genèse de l’économie sociale et il décrit la réalité socio-économique de ce que, depuis les années 1980, l’on nomme la « nouvelle économie sociale »

La protection sociale en Corée du sud
La Corée du sud, comme beaucoup de pays asiatiques, a longtemps sacrifié le volet social de son développement perçu comme un frein à la croissance et la compétitivité économiques. La Corée a ainsi développé un système de protection sociale fonctionnant sur la base de dispositifs obligatoires restreints et d'une forte sollicitation de la famille et, à un degré moindre, des entreprises qui ont le plus profité des fruits de la croissance. Ce qui car…
