Summary :

The objective of this talk is to understand how this movement is gaining strength, taking into account its legal setting, political structures, types of development, and the logic behind the actors who impersonate it. The founding ecosystems of the SSE, its institutionalisation, both from a legal and public policy view, and relevant measures taken to develop a collective and unifying entrepreneurship are amongst the aspects analysed here. The proposed approach has an institutionalist backdrop as we look at “interpreting the role of institutions in shaping political and social outputs” (Hall & Taylor, 2002: 194), from the hypothesis that institutions influence behaviours.
