The Social Economy Network in Rural Areas Functioning as a Community Field and a Locus of Social Innovation

Jeong-Seop Kim · 2024 · The Journal of Rural Society

Summary. Social economy networks in rural South Korea function as coordination mechanisms that mediate resources across market, public, and informal sectors. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis of networks in three regions, the study shows these networks create community spaces where residents set shared agendas and enable social innovation. Networks with dedicated solidarity organizations at their center operate more effectively and can integrate diverse policy resources to address rural development challenges.
