Title of presentation:
SOCIAL AND SOLIDARITY ECONOMY, NOONOMY AND THE CHANGE OF THE WORLD ORDER.
Abstract:
The presentation starts with a short introduction into the concept and history of the social and solidarity economy and its importance for the implementation of sustainable development goals. Then it connects SSE to the concept of Noonomy on the one hand and sustainability to the structure and mechanisms of the global world on the other. Given, that globalization has been developed on the basis of market fundamentalism, the present form of it hampers sustainable international relations to be achieved. Market fundamentalism allows selfishness to prevail, while sustainability demands smart and a mutually beneficial cooperation among all interested actors. This implies that we need a change in the world order. This change must be a structural and a functional one at the same time and should result in a prevalence of the common values of mankind within the framework of a global Noonomy. The presentation ends with a description of the preconditions for such a world order and underlines the potentials that the evolution and expansion of BRICS hides within itself.
