ABSTRACT

The current global crisis, expressed in a multiplicity of economic, social, cultural, territorial, political and environmental inequalities has led to a great clamor for change, providing a number of resistances but also containing tentative alternatives, mainly constructed from below, that is, by the poor and excluded sectors of the current world. Among these, emerging socioeconomic alternatives, only just budding, indicate that other worlds are possible. In this collaboration, a conceptual and empirical analysis of the alternatives is made, both from the south and from the global north, emphasizing contributions from Latin America.
