Una lectura de las redes inter-institucionales de la economía popular de la ciudad de Bariloche (Argentina)

Abstract

A characterization and analysis of inter-institutional relations of Bariloche’s Popular Economy is presented trough out the study of links between social and productive organizations and public institutions. Methodologically, the article presents a qualitative analysis of these relationships, identifying goals, strengths, and constraints of existing linkages. Social network analysis (SNA) is used in the study as a support tool. Results show that outstanding local experiences are those characterized by a co-management between public sector and social organization. Continuous government support in these experiences is crucial. It is also particularly relevant the work of intermediate organizations. They play a double role. First, by training, strengthening and bolstering the groundwork done by microentrepeneurs. On the other hand, they are those who facilitate the government´ job identifying social demands of the territory and designing the methodology of intervention.
