After the 2nd EMES-ISTR European conference, organized in July 2008 in Barcelona, EMES launched the EMES Conferences Selected Papers series. The second group of papers included in the ECSP series resulted from the 2nd EMES International Conference on Social Enterprise. The next selection will be made from the "Social and solidarity economy in an international perspective" conference held in São Leopoldo (Brazil) in December 2009.

This series aims to ensure that selected papers from conferences (co-)organised by EMES will be accessible to a large international audience of researchers, scholars, practitioners, policy makers, students and any other person whose work is related, in one way or another, to the third sector.

EMES Conferences Selected Papers are available for download in PDF format by clicking on their title. Please note that the papers have not undergone any editing process before their on-line publication. Should you have any question regarding one of these papers, we invite you to contact the author(s) directly.
