Abstract

GRACIA, María Amalia  and  HORBATH CORREDOR, Jorge Enrique. A Journey Through the Experiences of Self-Managed Partnership Working in Southern Mexico. Cuad. Desarro. Rural [online]. 2014, vol.11, n.73, pp.171-190. ISSN 0122-1450.

The experiences of self-managed partnership working for producing goods and services in rural and semi-rural areas of the south, southeastern and the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, are understood within the heterogeneous and ongoing space of social and supportive economy. In a first sketch on the extent, the characteristics, the actors and the subjects involved, we analyze absolute and relative figures, as well as the genesis, the dynamics and the current and historical linkages with other actors and social subjects. Our quest is to contribute to the debate on the development of the social and supportive economy in Mexico and Latin America, and to question the potential of these practices for gestating other economies, policies and subjectivities.

Keywords : associative work for production; self-management; social and supportive economy; social construction of alternatives; Mexico; cooperative societies; producer cooperatives; Mexico.
