AZAM, Geneviève. Economía solidaria y reterritorialización de la economía: Un desafío a la solidaridad, un objetivo para la ecología¹. Pampa [online]. 2009, n.5, pp.69-77. ISSN 2314-0208.

The current economic globalization is a process of unlimited liberation and autonomization of economic activities, as regards social, political and ecological rules. If territories are considered to be political spaces provided with rules, laws, procedures and customs, globalization and lack of regulations can be seen as attempts of freeing territories from their political role and reducing them to material or immaterial resources integrated into the world market. It is a process of "disembedding" of economy, in the strong sense given by Karl Polanyi, that generates a systemic crisis, as well as financial, social, food and ecological. The solidarity economy takes the re territorialization of activities as a project, its the "re-em-bedding",as K. Polanyi deals with it. In this respect, it cannot be considered as an economy of poverty or of survival, but as a way of political reappropriation of the territories, within which decisions about ways of producing, consuming, using and distributing wealth, can be collectively discussed. This economy, inscribed in international nets, makes it possible local and global articulation, as well as the redefinition of bases and conditions of international cooperation. It represents a tool that, articulated with public policies, can allow the relocation and the democratization of economy and society
