Abstract: Abstract The aim of the paper is to show how the dissemination of solidarity economy generates a positive reversal of the relationship between economy and society starting from the idea of reciprocity and the citizens’ participation and to his possible connection to Mediterranean Revolution. In the first paragraph we will introduce the topics of social economy and of reciprocal relationship considering the theory of Karl Polany and his figures: reciprocity, redistribution and exchange. In the second part we will give a definition of human economy and analyze the role of the citizen participation’s. Finally we will make a description of the most relevant mechanism of reciprocity between countries in the Mediterranean Area (migrations’ flows, remittances, cooperation, solidarity economy), to demonstrate how the dissemination of solidarity economy has promote the idea of participation and democracy building as first steps in the Mediterranean “revolution”.
