description To face the eco-social crisis caused by the capitalist model of production and consumption, we need eco-social transitions towards fair and sustainable models. The social and solidarity economy (SSE) is positioned as a key alternative that promotes economic practices based on cooperation, equity and sustainability. This monograph brings together articles that highlight the contributions of SSE initiatives to eco-social transitions in various regions and sectors. The eight selected studies analyse topics such as the inter-cooperation networks in Euskal Herria, the role of cooperativism, the circularity in the textile industry in the European Union, the links between waste management and social inclusion, the post-capitalist digitalisation, the agroecological experiences in Ecuador, the peasant markets in Ecuador and Mexico, or the community-based rural tourism in Mexico. We highlight how the SSE faces the tensions derived from global capitalism, promoting decentralised and resilient economic models, and consolidating itself as a tool for eco-social transformation. Differences in scale, sector and relationship with the State are identified, as well as challenges in institutionalization, autonomy and sustainability. We emphasize the need to continue researching the scalability of the SSE, its relationship with public policies and its impact on gender equity.
