Conclusion / Mook, Laurie / Quarter, Jack / Ryan, Sherida Researching the Social Economy is one of the first comprehensive research collections on the social economy in Canada. While the term "social economy" is used widely is Western Europe and Quebec, it has had minimal currency in English Canada, where the differences between the public and private sectors and among nonprofits, co-operatives, social enterprises, and community economic development organizations have been emphasized.The contributions to this volume, flowing from an inter-regional and international network of scholars and community organizations, analyze how the social economy, in its many manifestations, interacts with and shares commonalities with organizations in the other sectors of the economy. Taken as a whole, Researching the Social Economy enriches our understanding of how this important cluster of organizations contributes to Canadian society in both economic and social terms, and lays the groundwork for future study.Nonprofit organizationsCanadaCooperative societiesCanadaCommunity developmentCanadaVoluntarismCanadaEconomicsCanadaSociological aspectsPublic-private sector cooperationCanadaElectronic books.Nonprofit organizationsCooperative societiesCommunity developmentVoluntarismEconomicsSociological aspects.Public-private sector cooperation306.30971Mook LaurieQuarter Jack1941-Ryan Sherida1949-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456974003321Researching the social economy2253483UNINA
