Within the scope of the ICSEM project – International Comparative Social Enterprise Project, COST Action EMPOWER-SE – Empowering the next generation of social enterprise scholars, and the TIMES project, we participated in the book Social Enterprise in Western Europe, organized by Jacques Defourny and Marthe Nyssens, published by Routledge, with the articles:
Chapter 11. Social Enterprise in Portugal: Concepts, Contexts and Models, Sílvia Ferreira and Joana Almeida
Chapter 16. Social Enterprises in France, Portugal and Spain: Between Path Dependence and Institutional Creation?, Francesca Petrella, Nadine Richez-Battesti, Marta Solórzano-García and Sílvia Ferreira
The book is intended to serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and others who wish to gain a broad understanding of social entrepreneurship phenomena as they arise and develop.
