 The Opportunity for Social Enterprise in Emerging Market CountriesNicole Etchart and Loïc Comolli Chapter 1 in Social Enterprise in Emerging Market Countries, 2013, pp 1-10 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Social Enterprise in Emerging Market Countries: No Free Ride comprehensively maps and assesses the existing landscape and enabling environment for social enterprise development in emerging market countries, as well as the support mechanisms and best practices needed for social enterprises to overcome barriers to development. The book particularly focuses on the case of Latin America and Central Europe, but is relevant to emerging markets overall, since the enabling environment is nowhere fully developed and social enterprises face similar challenges in other countries.1 It is based on decades of experience, extensive research of hundreds of organizations and donors, and detailed case studies from many countries (see Appendix 1 for research methodology and scope). It provides a clear picture of the social enterprise ecosystem in emerging market countries today, where it needs to go, and how the players in the social enterprise field can get it there.
