How mixing meta-organization and social enterprise literatures can enhance the understanding of social territorialized clusters : the example of PTCE

The objective of this paper is to develop a dialogic discussion about literatures of multi-stakeholder meta-organization (MSMO) (Ahrne & Brunsson, 2005, 2008; Berkowitz et al., 2020) and social enterprises (Borzaga & Defourny, 2001 ; Defourny, Nyssens, 2017). Building upon the analysis of French PTCEs, this paper is a contribution to a better understanding of how multi-stakeholder cooperation dynamics at the territorial scale emerge, develop and, to some extent, are institutionalized. Territorial poles of economic cooperation (PTCEs) are a French type of cluster within the social and solidarity economy that promotes the cooperation between a diversity of stakeholders at the territorial level.

Based on these differences in conceptual frameworks, we would like to show how fertile a dialogue between meta-organisations and social enterprises literatures could be, in particular when cooperation dynamics and territorial development processes are taken into account.
