Abstract :
[en] This paper tries to show how the concept of social enterprise is increasingly
used in many countries. In Europe, the most significant steps have been taken by the
Italian parliament in the early 90’s and since 2002 by the UK government which has
decided to map and promote social enterprises. From a scientific point of view, the
approach built by the EMES European Research Network, based on comparative
research in all EU countries, provides a solid basis for further theoretical and empirical
work as well as new insights into the whole social economy.
