RUTH, Muñoz,  y  ANABELLA, Zamora,. Public policies of social and solidarity economy in Argentina during the Covid-19 pandemic. preliminary reflections from the case of inaes in Argentina. SaberEs [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp.1-30. ISSN 1852-4418.

The article presents preliminary reflections on the transformations of the National Institute of Associativism and Social Economy (INAES), the authority for the application of cooperative and mutual laws, which since December 2019 has proposed to expand its policy subject with the strategic objective of achieving centrality of the social and solidarity economy (SSE) in Argentina, to transform the country through towards greater social justice. In this framework, INAES went from the sphere of the Ministry of Social Development to that of the Ministry of Productive Development (MDP), trying to leave behind the imprint described by Coraggio (2011b) as "social policy of social economy". In this, the national policies designed to mitigate the effects generated by the COVID-19 crisis are analyzed, such as the "Emergency Assistance Program for Work and Production" and its relationship with the SSE, emphasizing the transformations of the INAES during 2020. The work concludes by posing an open scenario where persistent myopia is observed regarding the marginal place that continues to be given to the SSE and its meaning, with debates between the recognition of the specificities of the SSE and its assimilation to SMEs, al though interesting transformations are also highlighted that can shed light in order to mainstream, scale and achieve better objective conditions for a new SSE institutional framework in the post-pandemic context.
