Abstract
This master thesis concerns the field of Social Economy, its acknowledgment and its practical application in Peru. In the last decades, Peru has gone through several economic states which have led to the development of Social and Solidarity initiatives. This work aims at determining how the different concepts of Social Economy are acknowledged in the Peruvian Society and in the Academic Sphere. Four different concepts of Social Economy are studied: the Social Economy approach, the Non-Profit Organization approach, the Solidarity Economy approach and the concept of Social Enterprise. Each concept is defined and clarified with regards to the different types of organizations associated with it, its legal framework, its history, its academic acknowledgement and statistics. In addition, the practical application of these concepts is studied through real-life cases in Peru. Three case studies are elaborated allowing to measure the influence of the different concepts in the Peruvian social organizations. The occupation sector chosen is the one of education with a look at three private organizations. A methodological framework is developed with the elaboration of different typification indicators for the four concepts. Therefore, the three case studies are introduced and developed: the typification indicators are applied for each of the four concepts and summarised. Finally, conclusion and analysis remarks are provided regarding the acknowledgement and the practical application of the concepts for the case of Peru. It has been possible to determine which concept was predominant and recognised by the Peruvian Society. For the practical application it has been possible to identify to which concept the three social organizations from the case studies were corresponding the most. This allows to draw conclusion regarding the Peruvian education sector in light of the Social Economy concepts.
