It aims to examine the concept of social enterprise, and what part it can play in the renewal of our economy and in addressing key issues facing Irish society. The key themes and issues discussed in this book not only will contribute to the debate on social enterprise, but will act as a resource to communities, policy-makers and those with an interest in the sector. Ireland has a strong history of social economy organisations and collective action, notably such organisations as the GAA, the agricultural co-operative movement, and the credit union movement, the last being the world's largest (per capita) financial co-operative. Although social enterprise arguably is under-developed in Ireland, relative to other countries - in terms of practice, policy and, indeed, ideology - this book illustrates the benefits of social enterprise to local communities and wider interests, such as the State. The concept of social enterprise has gained attention in recent years and increasingly is seen as one viable response to the economic trauma Ireland has experienced. Social Enterprise in Ireland makes a strong case that social enterprise increasingly needs to be part of the way we do business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781190708\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e black \u0026amp; white illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oak Tree Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52594269552967,"sku":"2H-AHVR-5GFR","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/51mhd652WrL.jpg?v=1761046297","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/social-enterprise-in-ireland-a-peoples-economy","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
