B. How can we make further advances? Pooling lessons<\/p>\n
a. Local pacts: a diversity of forms and shared characteristics<\/p>\n
\u2022 A bottom-up view: spaces for organisation where actual individuals can rebuild themselves with other people \u2013 in: \u00ab Faire Pacte \u00bb, 2011<\/p>\n
\u2022 The essential importance of spaces that are open for the purposes of creating collective actions, mutual help, bold thinking and being firmly in a position to make dramatic change. Atelier 3 Congr\u00e8s du RIPESS Europe, Lille juillet 2013<\/p>\n
\u2022 New alliances between communities, solidarity economy networks and local authorities. Participation in the creation of the common good goes beyond the abstract notion of democracy. In territories, it takes the form of concrete actions that involve all stakeholders equally in a cooperative process. Atelier au Forum Social Europ\u00e9en de Florence (novembre 2012)<\/p>\n
\u2022 An innovative way of creating jobs and promoting the social and solidarity economy in Germany Technologie-Netzwerk Berlin<\/p>\n

b. A bottom-up view: three relevant spaces for interaction<\/p>\n
\u2022 A local level for improvements provided by stakeholders that organise solutions generated by close collaboration.<\/p>\n
\u2022 An embedded level that favours the territoriality of social life in spaces for consultation that are big enough to act as cohesive spaces for public services and economic development based on endogenous resources, something the very small level does not allow.<\/p>\n
\u2022 An all-encompassing territorial level that maintains a relationship with the outside world via interrelations that can take different forms: multi-level networks addressing similar problems; convergence on outcome targets committed to by contracting parties in a same region; partnerships between administrations, authorities and not-for-profit organisations for inter-cultural or inter-tactical action outcomes; the local application of European programmes or general measures, etc.<\/p>\n
c. Territories and Solidarity<\/p>\n
\u2022 The holistic approach to the challenge of understanding global interdependencies: opening up prospects for 2050 (ASSEFA)<\/p>\n
\u2022 The learning process concerning territories\u2019 social responsibility: a European challenge \u2013 CIDES, centre de ressources et d\u2019action de la mutuelle CHORUM et Think Thank Pour la Solidarit\u00e9 (sur Socioeco.org)<\/p>\n
\u2022 Governance of common goods: a new look at the conditional commitments in uncertain and complex environments to improve collective action Elinor Ostrom<\/p>\n
d. Conditions for a local economic development rooted in solidarity<\/p>\n
\u2022 Redefining activities in territories outside the obligatory reference to a commercial exchange – An activity is based on mobilising personal and professional values. – Rooting in a place as a component in a choice of lifestyle within a pre-existing social background. – The activities created imprint the effects of new social demands, defining profiles of activities in specific spaces capable of hosting them. – They express the values intrinsic to endogenous development (food, meeting essential needs) and external attributive values (leisure, environmental value, tourism) within various human-oriented systems.<\/p>\n
\u2022 In order to build the new glocal public sphere, the time has come for cooperatives to play an important role in their own communities and as the most important not-for-profit organisation in the world (Seikatsu Club).<\/p>\n
\u2022 Once the social economy sector is a participant in developing strategies with the entire range of stakeholders in a community, municipality, town or district of a city, it is guaranteed to serve all members of community.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
C. How can we make further advances? Proposals<\/p>\n
a. Giving the territorial pact a more widespread basis is about learning to cooperate.<\/p>\n
For the exercise of real local democracy<\/p>\n
\u2022 The terms of democratic debate need to be reconstructed to succeed in building far more cooperative partnerships that take into account all parties\u2019 territorial and social commitments.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Cooperation is the expression of shared responsibility: it works to ensure that a diverse range of stakeholders, public and private, individuals and organisations, act within an overall and coherent process with the aim of achieving a shared goal in the interest of the greatest number.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Democratic participation for inhabitants-citizens is based on acting together and\/or independently: by contributing to public action initiated by other people, by taking the initiative to launch actions that help to achieve these shared goals; at times, by resisting when sites are chosen for economic reasons and those choices are imposed, with the backing of the authorities, even though they go against local residents\u2019 right to lead a healthy, safe and peaceful life, or when they destroy common goods. Because this is about protecting fundamental rights: a question that is part of the overall democratic debate on the global society approach.<\/p>\n
\u2022 There is an urgent need to unite the forces of society within our communities and between our communities to create the critical mass needed to build an alternative model rooted in the real economy.<\/p>\n
b. Learning the lessons of citizen action in the life of territorial society is essential<\/p>\n
\u2022 The local pacts approach is rooted in daily realities, but this type of local approach is not only geographic. It is interlinked and systemic. It leads to the management of antagonistic practices, within and without institutions: the global with the local, the long term with the short term, collective interests with individual interests, the single-purpose approach (sector-based, cultural) with the multi-purpose and cross-cutting approach, the simplicity of actions with the complexity of situations.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The search for a better understanding and definition of local economic solidarity ties is an educational strategy aimed at obtaining political recognition of the SSE as an economic sector in its own right. These approaches provide the foundation for all levels of a complex democracy: the management of everyday problems as well as the conditions for finding a dynamic and differentiated way to link to the globalised economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
