Social enterprise as political work: perspectives from the global south
研究了全球南方九家社会企业的政治工作，发现它们与西方类似，同时与政府合作和批评政策，但策略更隐蔽。
The political work of social enterprises (SEs) is often neglected in the ‘West; and is almost completely ignored in the ‘Global South’. Stimulated by calls for more studies on the political work of SEs and our initial exhibiting this aspect of SEs, we conducted an inductive study of nine SEs from the Global South. We found the SEs, similar to those in the west, engage in different forms of paradoxical political work––simultaneously working outside of and with governments, while also critiquing policy. Notably, the tactics they employ tend to be more subtle and less visible to the western eye.
