Social regeneration is about the transformative processes that,
through institutional choices that embody cooperation and
inclusion, develop opportunities and capabilities for weak
categories, and transversally for society. The challenge of social
regeneration can be addressed, in part, through organisational
solutions increasingly identified with social economy
organisations, since they are characterised by a social objective,
cooperation and inclusive democratic governance. Besides the
organisational element, Social Regeneration and Local Development
provides a new perspective on interacting socio-economic factors,
which can work in synergy with the social economy organisations
model to promote and sustain social regeneration and well-being.
Such elements include civic engagement and social capital, the
nature of the welfare system, the use of physical assets in urban
and rural areas, leadership, technology, and finance. By analysing
organisational and contextual elements, this book offers an
institutional perspective on how socio-economic systems can reply
to challenges such as social and environmental degradation,
financial crises, immigration, inequality, and marginalisation.
This innovative book offers a critical perspective on the state of
the current global economy, making sense of knowledge-related
issues by critically assessing existing institutional choices, as
well as pointing to new ways forward. The pioneering chapters
reposition knowledge in a number of economic debates including
regional development, property rights, social enterprises,
corporate governance, the management of universities, and the role
of creative activities. They explore the possibility of an
institutional dynamism that impacts not only on the characteristics
of localities and their place in a hierarchical and ordered system
of relationships, but on the nature of the system itself.
Conclusions point at the individual and collective dimensions of
the knowledge discovery process, suggesting a renewed approach to
the assessment of economic choices. This insightful book offers an
original perspective on knowledge-related issues and constitutes a
valuable read for academics and postgraduate students in
international business and economic competitiveness, as well
practitioners and policymakers who are interested in alternative
analyses and methods for economic development.
