Abstract

The research aims to analyze the role of territorial theoretical and methodological approaches developed by different researchers from Piedmont in Italy, in relation to innovative experiences of social economy involved in territorial development construction merely on a local scale. Whereas these experiences when they are systematized theoretically and methodologically, to allow context readings more consistent with the realities. In order to recognize ability to interpretation, application, integration and feedback from these experiments, we will use tools for the collection and production of information through a literature review and an empirical analysis fueled by the direct contact with agents in the scientific community and the leaders of innovative experiences.
