Participatory practices of "popular and solidarity economy" (EPS) and its impact on Ecuadorian communities: identification of vertebrate elements

The essence of the global and simultaneous critical development of the economy not only seeks a deep change in the social division of labor, but also seeks to satisfy the need for a new type of relationship not only economic. The conception of the traditional division of labor is generating both threats and unprecedented opportunities, in which it must be taken into account that the different idiosyncrasy of peoples also acquire a relevant role; Local, regional, national and foreign economic spaces also affects social and political change. In these initiatives, reciprocal confidence, cooperation and solidarity among the actors involved in this process is key, which will represent the difference between failure and success. This cooperation philosophy is in line with the new paradigm of the "good living" that requires the involvement of all assets. The good development of initiatives is only possible when coordination in the articulation of the different isolated strategies is achieved. All this aimed at going beyond mere economic growth, with the aim of restoring the relations of individuals and communities with nature.
