Abstract: Few studies have made the link between the practice of solidarity-based initiatives as Fair Trade and the fundamentals of the capability approach. While the latter would seem to provide the analytical framework needed by the solidarity economy to assert theoretically as an alternative style of development, well designed for interdependent economies in crisis. Indeed, the capability approach advocated by A. Sen and M. Nussbaum, as part of a theory of justice, allows such analytical link. But extending its ethical references may be needed in order to provide the appropriate foundations to consider prospective responsible-based initiatives as collective agency and individualized collective action.
