Abstract

The article analyzes the incorporation of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) agenda in the regional integration processes of UNASUR and MERCOSUR. We ask how the SSE is being used in the effort of regional policy cooperation and what implication this has for the construction of regional governance frameworks for development? The argument is that these regional processes adopt a limited concept of SSE that defines it as a social policy instrument to combat poverty. This sets a limit to the transformative potential of the ESS agenda, which is related to the strengthening of socio-productive practices that offer alternatives to extractivist development as a recurring trend in the region.
