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.

Palabras llave : Popular solidary economy; collective action; democracy.
