Solidary Economy in Governamental Agenda in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay

Analysis of Recent Period

Abstract

IIn this paper, we point the characteristics of Solidary Economy present in three Latin American countries: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, under the prism of public policies institutionalization and of public policies directed to the development of solidary enterprises in their different modalities. We search to visualize the presence of Solidarity Economy in the governmental agenda of these three countries during the period they were under governmental management considered as progressive, and would commit themselves to stimulate actions aimed at the Solidary Economy. An effort to propose public policies for Solidarity Economy was verified in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, but these public policies took place more as government policies than as State policies, compromising their permanence.
