Legal status and institutional support for SSE
Themes : Public policies and the solidarity economy
Certain governments have chosen to render their recognition and support for the social and solidarity economy definitive. Independently of the orientations of a party or the economic context, these measures, whether laws, new institutions or certification processes are enshrined in laws that ensure their sustainability. The immutability of these structures often facilitates the collaboration between government actors and enables constructive and inter-sectoral partnership processes and with actors of the social and solidarity economy.

Development and the State: A Changing Vision
Development is a topic that can’t be dealt with without referring to the role of state intervention. The debate over state intervention, its goals and the extent of its application, has been a recurring one for more than three centuries. As far back as the 18th century, there have been several conflicting visions: was it necessary to let an unregulated market follow its natural course (resulting in an optimal allocation of resources), as some economists, like J-B. Say or A. Smith, recommended? Or rather, was it necessary that the state intervene, in particular so as to protect infant industries? (cf. F. List).
