Analysing the role of SSE organisations and enterprises in enhancing wellbeing, planetary health and democracy at various levels and their contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the Encyclopedia invaluably summarises knowledge about the key aspects of the SSE. Accomplished researchers depart from traditional nationalistic, Eurocentric and trans-Atlantic perspectives to explain the SSE from a global perspective with a focus on untold stories of its development in both developing and developed countries.
A collective work of the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on SSE (UNTFSSE), this Encyclopedia will serve as an essential tool for scholars and students of comparative social policy, international economics, management studies and economic sociology.
Key Features:
• 57 entries
• Clearly organised into thematic sections addressing histories, concepts and theories, actors and organisations, development, and environment and governance
• Breaks down the complex relationship between economic, social and political dimensions in an accessible way

Critical Acclaim
‘A product of the UN Inter-Agency Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy (UNTFSSE) Knowledge Hub, the Encyclopaedia of the Social and Solidarity Economy is a welcome contribution to our stock of knowledge on the topic. I applaud our colleagues in the United Nations Research Institute on Social Development (UNRISD), a co-founder and member of the UNTFSSE, for putting this comprehensive reference text together. It will be a useful resource as the International Labour Organization and its constituents seek to implement the conclusions on decent work and the social and solidarity economy, adopted at the 110th International Labour Conference in June 2022.’
– Guy Ryder, Director-General, International Labour Oganization
‘This magnificent work captures the rich diversity of experiences, backgrounds and visions of those of us who work in people-centered economics. It is, therefore, an essential tool for consolidating a paradigm of international cooperation that makes an effective impact in each territory.’
