In Brazil, and in many other countries, the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) has been an innovative alternative for job and income generation, and a solution to cope with social and labor inclusion, in the last two decades. It can also be considered a new, more humane and inclusive model of development. This fact contributes to improving the quality of life, both for people and their communities, especially those with social and economic disadvantages. This conclusion led the United Nations to recognize the SSE as one of the auxiliary contributions to fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is because the SDGs integrate and merge the three dimensions of sustainable territorial development: economic, social and environmental. However, at present, we need conclusive quantitative and qualitative studies and methodologies to be able to “quantify” the effective contributions of the SSE to the SDGs. Thus, this article aims to use a real and innovative experience of municipal SSE, carried out in an area of high socioeconomic vulnerability (Monte Alegre Land Reform Settlement), in the Brazilian municipality of Araraquara (SP), to explain its effective contributions to achieving certain SDGs. With this study, which is still being carried out, we also intend to propose a set of indicators for SDGs 1, 2, 5, 11 and 12, which can be applied in the future, as well as to other SSE experiments.

The current market situation worldwide, internationalization and technology has caused the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), can not compete easily because they do not have sufficient knowledge and resources and tend to disappear, despite their importance in generating employment and regional development. That’s why small businesses should manage their resources more efficiently and acquire even. With the intention of making them competitive, must also generate innovation and value chains, that are sufficient to generate strategic alliances reasons, which increasingly are necessary to ensure its future growth. Innovation processes are inherent in entrepreneurial companies, SMEs need to reinvent their processes and business models, since for it will have to incorporate product development, new strategies, innovation and design, among others, and are not prepared, cooperation is fundamental. Because of the importance of these companies in the regional and national growth, it is necessary to establish strategies that allow them to place their products, either a good or a service, not only in the regional and national market but also in international markets, being the value chain to analyze a strategy to convert their activities into competitive advantages.

Despite the growing body of research confirming the struggles that many skilled immigrants face post-migration, little attention is given to their realities in immigration strategies for recruitment. Countries such as Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom continue to boost their efforts to attract highly skilled immigrants with no commitment to ensure their success. Many skilled immigrants are faced with increasing instances of poverty and discrimination and their efforts to settle and thrive are undermined. The focus on potential economic growth for host countries and faster rates of settlement over other immigrant groups, continue to be the driving force to increasingly attract skilled immigrants. At the same time, the many challenges of discrimination and economic disenfranchisement that especially racialized skilled immigrants face, lead to lower standards of living with certain descent into poverty for many. This article is informed by Critical Race Theory and engages a discussion on the discrimination and economic consequences of poverty that racialized skilled immigrants face in Canada. The article draws on existing literature on skilled immigrants, to provide an overview of the challenges that they encounter with unemployment and underemployment post-migration, which increases their risk of poverty. In an effort to preserve the well-being of skilled immigrants, the discussion outline ideas to developing a path to social justice that is guided by social work principles. The article concludes with key suggestions to address systemic issues that contribute to the challenges that skilled immigrants face in Canada and highlight areas for future research.

In this article I will present who the main actors involved in the process of construction of neoliberal subjects in Romania are. The process of restructuring the economic model of Romania, during the 90s, has brought about many social changes, such as the fl exibility of labour relationships, the growth of the service sector or the commodifi cation of education and health. Concomitantly with the global transformations – globalization and automation – by the end of 2000s, it determined the emergence of a new type of activity in the socio-economic environment that is personal development. This analysis aims to present a practical application of the concept of governmentality developed by Michel Foucault, drawing from the prerequisite that the practice of personal development becomes a tool for the construction of subjects, the direction of the construction being given by the type of social and economic context of the study period, which in the article I call neoliberalism. Thus, I will describe how this practice has come to be embraced by many neoliberal actors involved in citizens’ forming process – education, the media, the church and the non-governmental sector. The article is the result of an ethnographic approach, in which I used interviews, discourse analysis and content analysis, conducted between 2011 and 2016, mostly in Bucharest.

The social economy sector in Croatia has been neglected for a long time and has not been recognized as a space for sustainable jobs and the development of a more inclusive and cohesive society, as is the case in many Eastern and Central European countries. On the other hand, social entrepreneurship is a relatively new phenomenon established in this century. The aim of this paper is to assess the trends and challenges of social economy development in Croatia as the newest, last EU member state. On the basis of a secondary data analysis, the paper scrutinizes trends in social economy development. Social entrepreneurship is analysed as a part of the social economy that is strengthening, as well as the economic activity of associations that tends to turn into a social economy or a solidarity economy. The paper will also give an overview of the instances of the institutional context of the development of cooperatives and social enterprises, such as the recent legislative and policy changes, as well as the institutional framework with some insights into recommendations how to promote the development of the social economy sector in Croatia.

Personnel management involves all the activities connected with people that are aimed at the implementation of an enterprise’s goals. Such activities should also meet employees’ needs, which refer to their development. The activities are undertaken by an enterprise to achieve a success. This is possible thanks to the involvement and work of the people employed in an enterprise. Personnel management in small family businesses is characterised by the simplicity of applied factors and lack of complicated instruments. Its specificity depends on the scale of a company’s operation. The paper presents discussion on factors influencing personnel management in respect of small family businesses. The research is both theoretical and empirical in nature. The theoretical part shows the concept of a family business and selected factors in personnel management of family businesses, while the empirical one presents results of the author’s own studies on diagnosis of the state of personnel management in small family businesses in a changing environment and indicates areas of the diagnosed process that should be improved.

Cooperation entities, interested in developing joint strategies for regional development, can have many forms. A result of conducting activities indirectly revives the local economy by strengthening its role in the region. Strong driver of rural development is the development of local tourism. The cooperation between different subjects and the creation of attractive offers to attract tourists, and thus capital, expand the existing infrastructure and shape further development strategies. One side with often untapped potential is the church. On the one hand, its buildings, monuments, religious art and relics can be a local tourist attraction. On the other hand, it should also be remembered that religious experiences are a common reason for religious tourism and pilgrimage. Before the political changes, the cooperation with the local church was very difficult because of the reluctance of the local authorities. Also, in the era of market economy, the local ecclesiastical authorities were often not interested in cooperating and supporting the development of local tourism. But now you can see signs of cooperation and the building of a joint development strategy aimed at attracting tourists and pilgrims. Examples of cooperation of local authorities with representatives of local church authorities, aimed at the development of the tourist offer of the region, are the evidence of the desirability of such actions and patterns to be followed.

The development of local government units is a complex process that must be considered not only to the institution, but also to the region. This development is conditioned by a number of external and internal factors, and one of the most important is the development of human resources which requires “proper” implementation of the HRM. Empirical studies of Polish administration show that there are lots of organization in which the status of the personnel function is unsatisfactory. This problem is noticed by external stakeholders and by employees. The shortcomings of public administration connected with HRM are also seen as the results of empirical research conducted within the project “System support management processes in local government”. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that development of HRM is one of the preconditions for the development of public administration. The goal was achieved by reference to the literature and the results of empirical research. The first part of the paper presents the idea of the development of local government units. The second section focuses on the arguments proving the need to improve HRM in public administration. The next step was to show the results of empirical research conducted by the Faculty of Management (University of Lodz) within the project “System support management processes in local government”.

Education and textbooks are always connected with the social context. The social context that has influenced education and textbooks in Serbia ever since the end of the World War Two is based on the socialist and post-socialist cultural pattern. The informatics society has inevitably affected culture and education. The work analyzes the changes that have led to the modifications in education and textbooks. The result is that education and textbooks suffer the influences of the society, but that the society also suffers their influence. The conclusion is that without raising the level of education Serbian culture and the society embodied in it cannot be preserved and there can be no social progress; the most efficient way of attaining improvement is to create textbooks which, regardless of frequent changes in cultural patterns, must be guardians of the patterns of culture.

History of civilizations teaches that migration and its positive and negative results for humanity is old as humanity itself. There are many reasons, famines, droughts, natural disasters, economic, as well as political one. The migration of Syrians since 2011 is a result of domestic political conflicts and instability. The Syrian conflict with a brutal military crackdown on anti-government civil and peaceful protestors in Daraa, a small town southwestern Syria, began in March 2011. This conflict eventually has displaced more than 12 million people by Feb., 2016. Majority of Syrians have fled to neighboring countries in the region, such Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. Therefore, the Syrian conflict is one of the biggest humanitarian, peace, and security crisis facing the world and humanity today. Intensified fighting and a deteriorating humanitarian situation continue to cause massive people flows within Syria and into the region. The UN estimates 13.5 million people in Syria need humanitarian assistance while 4.6 million have fled to neighboring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt.
