This article presents this trajectory, starting from the work of Milton Santos on the circuits in the urban economics in the underdeveloped countries and their relation to the popular economy. We also discuss the solidarity economy, which originated within the framework of European associativism, and in Brazil assumes peculiar contours when focusing on self-managed collective production. Finally, we discuss how the current Latin American debate articulates the questioning of the market society and the proposition of an “other economy” focused on work and on the plurality of economic principles. In this sense, “social and solidarity economy” would be, in peripheral and in central countries, a set of initiatives oriented to an ideal economic system, to replace the “economy of capital”.

A pesar de la globalización de la economía y los incesantes intentos por subordinar todas las formas de producción a la lógica de la acumulación capitalista, la resistencia de los trabajadores persiste mediante la implementación de diversos modelos de gestión social del trabajo, entre los que destacan los puestos en marcha por los actores de la economía popular, la economía social y la economía solidaria. Precisar la identidad organizacional de estas tres formas de trabajo, para el caso específico de México, constituye el propósito principal del presente artículo, habiéndose identificado que, por su naturaleza, el sistema de trabajo que corresponde a cada una de ellas es de tipo autónomo, asociativo-autogestionario y asociativo-autogestionario-solidario, respectivamente.

Specify the organizational identity of these three forms of work, for the specific case of Mexico, is the main purpose of this article, having identified that, by its nature, the work system that corresponds to each of them is of autonomous type, associative-self-management and associative-self-management-solidarity, respectively.

O presente trabalho busca aproximar os conceitos de des/colonialidade e economia popular e solidária na perspectiva latino-americana. Nesse sentido, a discussão situa-se, primeiro, na reflexão sobre a economia popular enquanto terreno para uma Outra Economia, seus limites e suas possibilidades. Em seguida, são feitos apontamentos para o fortalecimento de uma economia alternativa de base popular por meio da relação entre as ideias de economia popular, des/colonialidade do poder e economia solidária.

La economía urbana (EU) surgió de la mano de propuestas espacialistas y economicismos y continúa siendo tallada por estas A pesar de una evidente institucionalización de la economía social y solidaria (ESS) en América Latina, que da cuenta de un creciente pluralismo económico, en la EU perdura la hegemonía del enfoque del sector informal urbano y sus presiones por transformar en capitalistas cada práctica de economía popular. Buscando el reconocimiento de la economía social (ES) en este campo, el artículo ilustra brevemente la institucionalización de la ESS y plantea una provocativa exploración por poner en diálogo a la ES con la teoría de los dos circuitos. Un diálogo como este constituye una deuda pendiente que puede aportar a la disputa del campo así como a encontrar mejores comprensiones y, también, a transformar las economías de nuestros territorios en un sentido progresivo.Palabras-clave: economía urbana; dos circuitos de la economía urbana; economía social; economía social y solidaria; economía popular. Abstract: The urban economy has been hardly influenced by spatial proposals and economicism. In Latin America, while the institutionalization of social and solidarity economy of the last few years shows a growing economic pluralism, in the urban economy field persists the hegemony of urban informal sector perspective, and its pressures of transforming in capitalist every popular economy practice. Seeking for recognition of social economy in this field, the article succinctly illustrates social and solidarity institutionalization in the region and suggests a provocative exploration to put in dialogue social economy with two circuits of urban economy theory. Such a dialogue is considered as a debt, which we understand could contribute to dispute the field, to get better explanations and also to transform in a progressive sense the economy of our territories. Keywords: urban: economy; two circuits of urban economy; social economy; social and solidarity economy; popular economy.

This paper explores how peace engineering initiatives relate to the critique of development in the Latin American context. Development is an essential condition for peace, and structural violence is closely associated with patterns of development. In engineering studies, the critique of development has increased attention, explaining the initiatives towards peace engineering engaged in social transformations. We discuss the evolution of the modern notion of development and argue why we should reject the mantra of neoliberalism. Next, we shift our look to the contributions of the Latin American critique of development, from the historical liberation movements to new concepts such as post-extractivism, solidarity economy, and political ecology. A decolonial view is proposed departing from the ‘epistemologies of the South’, followed by a review of how science, technology, and innovation relate to specific exclusion forms. Further, an empirical view on peace engineering initiatives in post-conflict Colombia and Brazil is presented, including three streams of how engineering initiatives relate to social change, from the social economy to grassroots movements. Finally, we suggest a few questions for further research in peace engineering and development.

Amidst shrinking budgets for community development in most of sub-Saharan Africa, the social solidarity economy is touted as a model in local development. This article situates solidarity initiatives and capability-focused outcomes that deliver enhanced livelihoods, social security and community development. The conceptual framing of social theory, social capital and social economy informs this case study with focus on the Ndong Awing Cultural and Development Association, North-West region, Cameroon. The analysis of semi-structured interviews and secondary sources suggests that solidarity networks such as njangis, cooperatives, quarter development unions and diaspora networks promote village-centric development. These overlapping networks generate scarce financial and human resources–essential packages for livelihoods and welfare. Emerging state policy is yet to calibrate these mechanisms of ground-up, mutual development drives. Galvanising these solidarity assets require meaningful co-productionand revamped state−community relations. This article offers a paradigm shift in how village groups mobilise income, capital and financing of village projects, nurtured through human development and agency.

The Social

In this chapter the Social and Solidarity Economy is presented both as an alternative theory and a counterhegemonic program of political action that challenges the tenets of the market economy of neoliberal doctrine. The proposal is framed within a substantive economy approach based on the works of Marx and Polanyi. The categories of a substantive economic analysis regarding ethical and specifically economic principles and institutions are outlined. Recent advances in the line of a Social and Solidarity Economy are sketched for some of the Latin American national-popular political processes (Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, with some references to Brazil), including an especial reference to the new constitutions and public policies and the tensions between different objectives revealed within them.

The article investigates the effects of extensive enforcement of the market society on the pattems of politics in the example of the Latin American countries. The institutionalized politics as well as the »political« (the symbolic representations of the collective order) undergo a transformation, during which the context and the meaning of democracy is changed. Instead of politics being trapped within the mere market logic and only reacting to challenges, a policy which tries toregulate social processes with the aim of a collective order for the collectivity is necessary.
