THE WORLD IS GOING THROUGH A PERIOD OF PROFOUND AND COMPLEX TRANSFORMATIONS, MARKED BY ACCUMULATED STRUCTURAL INEQUALITIES, SOCIAL FRAGMENTATION, AND AN URGENT NEED TO RENEW ITS DEVELOPMENT MODELS. FACED WITH THIS PANORAMA, CONVENTIONAL ECONOMIC APPROACHES –PREDOMINANTLY FOCUSED ON MAXIMIZING INDIVIDUAL BENEFIT, TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY, AND THE LOGIC OF PURELY CONTRACTUAL EXCHANGE– PROVE INSUFFICIENT TO RESOLVE CRISES THAT GO BEYOND THE MERELY MATERIAL. IN THIS CROSSROADS SCENARIO, THE CIVIL ECONOMY EMERGES NOT AS A MARGINAL ALTERNATIVE, BUT AS A RIGOROUS THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL PARADIGM, CAPABLE OF OFFERING STRUCTURAL RESPONSES GROUNDED IN THE CENTRALITY OF THE PERSON, RECIPROCITY, AND HUMAN FLOURISHING. THIS SYMPOSIUM CONSTITUTES A SPACE FOR TRANSDISCIPLINARY ENCOUNTER AND DEBATE TO EXAMINE HOW THE PRINCIPLES OF THE CIVIL ECONOMY CAN ARTICULATE VIABLE AND CONTEXTUALIZED SOLUTIONS TO THE CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES OF THE REGION AND THE WORLD. UNLIKE VISIONS THAT REDUCE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY TO THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE ATOMIZED MARKET AND STATE REGULATION, THE TRADITION OF THE CIVIL ECONOMY HOLDS THAT ECONOMIC DYNAMICS CAN AND SHOULD BE SPACES FOR THE EXPRESSION OF FRATERNITY AND THE GENERATION OF RELATIONAL GOODS. THESE GOODS, WHOSE PRODUCTION AND ENJOYMENT DEPEND ON THE QUALITY OF THE BONDS AMONG PEOPLE, ARE INDISPENSABLE FOR REBUILDING SOCIAL TRUST, INSTITUTIONAL STABILITY, AND AUTHENTIC COHESION WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES. THE CENTRAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS SPACE IS TO BRING TOGETHER RESEARCHERS, ACADEMICS, AND THINKERS TO DELIBERATE ON THE ETHICAL, PHILOSOPHICAL, AND PRACTICAL DIMENSIONS OF ORGANIZATIONS AND MARKETS. THE AIM IS TO INTERROGATE EXISTING STRUCTURES AND, AT THE SAME TIME, TO MAKE VISIBLE AND SYSTEMATIZE THOSE COMMUNITY, BUSINESS, AND CIVIC EXPERIENCES THAT ALREADY OPERATE UNDER LOGICS OF RECIPROCITY AND SHARED VALUE. SOCIAL JUSTICE, READ FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE, CEASES TO BE A PURELY DISTRIBUTIVE GOAL SUBSEQUENT TO ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, AND BECOMES AN INTRINSIC REQUIREMENT OF THE VERY WAY IN WHICH WORK, PRODUCTION, AND TERRITORIAL GOVERNANCE ARE ORGANIZED. TO GUIDE THE RECEPTION OF PAPERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS, THE PANEL WILL STRUCTURE ITS REFLECTIONS AROUND THE FOLLOWING SUGGESTED THEMATIC AXES, WITHOUT AN EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER:
\n1. ETHICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE CIVIL ECONOMY: CONTEMPORARY REREADINGS OF THE COMMON GOOD, JUSTICE, AND FRATERNITY IN CURRENT SOCIOECONOMIC THOUGHT.
\n2. ECONOMY AND RELATIONAL GOODS: THE IMPACT OF MUTUAL TRUST, RECIPROCITY, AND HIGH-QUALITY HUMAN CONNECTIONS ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES.
\n3. CIVIL ECONOMY IN THE FACE OF VULNERABILITY: INNOVATIVE RESPONSES TO SOCIAL EXCLUSION, LABOR INFORMALITY, INEQUALITY, AND THE CHALLENGES OF INTEGRAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
\nDISTRIBUTIVE GOVERNANCE AND SOCIAL INNOVATION: ASSOCIATIVE MANAGEMENT MODELS, SOLIDARITY ECONOMIES, AND THE ROLE OF CIVIC VIRTUES IN THE DESIGN OF PUBLIC POLICIES WITH A COMMUNITY-BASED APPROACH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","simposio_area":[57],"class_list":["post-10585","simposio","type-simposio","status-publish","hentry","simposio_area-estudios-economicos"],"yoast_head":"\n
