Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="de"> Les coopératives sociales représentent la forme la plus remarquable d'organisations sans but lucratif dans le domaine des services sociaux en Italie. La naissance et le développement de ces organisations ont été étroitement liés et conditionnés par les besoins et ressources des territoires et communautés. Cet article vise à démontrer comment certains facteurs socio-économiques identifiés dans la littérature économique comme antécedents du développement des coopératives sociales peuvent expliquer leur expansion dans différentes régions d’Italie. Les résultats de l’étude démontrent en outre que la coopération sociale s'est installée sous différentes formes selon les régions d’Italie.
