The choice of an intensification of the mining sector not only shows a change in the government’s perspective (from Sumak Kawsay to sustainable development), but also requires an analysis that highlights the possible risks outlined in the recent theory defined as the Resource Curse Hypothesis. Indeed, in this work, the structural conditions, which the reference theoretical framework suggests are essential to avoiding the Resource Curse Hypothesis, will be analysed in order to assess the economic effectiveness of the change of perspective implemented in the Revolucion
Ciudadana.

Probabilmente è perché di riscaldamento globale ed esaurimento delle risorse si parla con insistenza almeno dagl’anni ‘70, ma quel futuro mediamente lontano che per un bel po’ di anni ha rassicurato le nostre coscienze sembra essere arrivato. Per quel che concerne la risorsa idrica, forse una di quelle che meno preoccupava l’opinione pubblica, la situazione è già da alcuni anni allarmante. Già nel 2006, circa 700 milioni di persone in 43 Paesi soffrivano di scarsità d’acqua e si è stimato che, entro il 2025, 1,8 miliardi di persone vivranno in Paesi o regioni con assoluta scarsità d'acqua, e due terzi della popolazione mondiale potrebbe vivere in condizioni di stress idrico".

Worker cooperatives are present in all regions and in most economic sectors, employing about 506,000 workers and generating a turnover of about €22 bn. Despite their history and diffusion, the high prevalence of WCs in Italy is under-researched and -thematised and requires new research.Design/methodology/approachThe paper leverages unpublished primary and secondary data from Centro Studi Legacoop databank, the Aida-Bureau Van Dijk databank and the Cooperative Registry of the Ministry of Economic Development (CRMED) to explain the spread of WCs in Italy.FindingsThis paper reveals descriptive statistics of WCs and investigates their distribution across economic sectors and regions, their economic and financial performance and gives an overview of the relevant legislation. The paper indicates...

Del resto, l'obiettivo del progetto politico ecuadoriano si presenta piuttosto ambizioso: costruire una società del Buen Vivir prendendo ispirazione dalla cosmovisione indigena del Sumak Kawsay, una società che sia pienamente sostenibile e inclusiva. Ma quanto vi è di retorica politica in quest'ambizioso progetto e quanto vi è invece di realmente rivoluzionario? Gli ottimi risultati raggiunti in termini soci...

The choice of intensifying the mining sector shows a change in the government’s philosophy (from Sumak Kawsay to neo-extractivism) and requires an analysis that highlights the possible risks outlined by the extensive literature on the Resource Curse Hypothesis. This article analyzes the conditions, which are essential for avoiding the Resource Curse Hypothesis, in order to assess the economic effectiveness of the change of perspective, operated, under the Revolución Ciudadana.

In the light of the economic crisis triggered by the present epidemic, the mapping work also takes on a further importance in outlining a perspective of analyses on the future impacts of the recession, on the resilience of the cooperative movement and on the role it will be able to play in counteracting the decline in industry and employment.
