Neither state-driven nor profit-oriented, these organizations form a relatively under-studied third sector of the economy. Researchers from the Social Economy Research Network of Northern Canada explore this sector through fifteen case studies, encompassing artistic, recreational, cultural, political, business, and economic development organizations that are crucial to the health and vitality of their communities. Care, Cooperation and Activism in Canada's Northern Social Economy shows the innovative diversity and utter necessity of home-grown institutions in communities across Labrador, Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, and Yukon. Readers, researchers, and students interested in social economy, Aboriginal studies, and northern communities will find much to enjoy and value in this book Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Cooperation -- Canada, Northern -- Case studies Cooperative societies -- Canada, Northern -- Case studies Indigenous peoples -- Canada, Northern -- Social conditions -- Case studies Indigenous peoples -- Canada, Northern -- Economic conditions -- Case studies BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Economics -- General.
