to the challenges that remain for the definition of a model for more sustainable and inclusive development, related to the regressive income distribution, the concentration of wealth, strong heterogeneities and fractures socio-territorial and growing environmental problems , among others, now adds a macro-economic context marked by the global economic crisis, which involves less optimistic scenarios for Argentina and the region, which were until recently expected.

The current economic crisis, coupled the existing structural problems, an urgent need for debate on the model of development and public policies at the same time stimulates the search for new alternatives to persistent problems. In this context, take on new momentum debates and practices related to local development and social economy, to the extent that they involve a search of more room for autonomy and innovative models for the territories and socio-economic organizations.

In turn, this revival of the discussion requires consideration of the conceptualizations most recent on the subject. Local development can no longer think only in relation to municipal, provincial detached from the context, nationally and globally, but must make axis in the construction of productive and integrated regions in the context of inter-jurisdictional and inter-relationships. For its part, the social economy, it now proposes the construction of collective actors and socio-economic networks with capacity for action, embedded in webs of production and value chains. Thus, these approaches point to the economic and territorial decentralization, promoting a more balanced development model and inclusive, as opposed to the generation of "territorial enclaves", reinforcing the socio-economic inequality and space.

The possibility of construction of this new model faces, however, significant challenges still unresolved in terms of resources, skills and existing regulatory frameworks, and confronts also with the existence of strong interest, but even with the weakening of other regional actors: local and provincial governments, micro-regions, SME, rural and urban producers, cooperatives, social networks, among others. These weaknesses as well as the persistent structural imbalances and identified, preventing the creation of a framework more endogenous socio-productive, dynamic and innovative, making the creation of a new development model.

The Higher Diploma in Local Development and Social Economy, in its tenth edition, it is proposed, therefore, progress in the analysis of theories and experiences about Local / territorial and social economy, adding in turn the main criticisms and recent conceptualizations. Some guidelines in this regard involving the dimension beyond merely local and individual projects tending to the construction of regions and value chains, the formation of associative networks and frameworks, beyond the idyllic vision that characterized these approaches, incorporating cultural and political dimensions, and incorporate the practices and public policy analysis of environmental sustainability and social. It also examines these issues as part of a massed more general theories of development and the search for a new model of development and inclusion.

The academic proposal articulates three dimensions: training conceptual foundation on local development and social economy, analysis of public policies, methodologies and tools of intervention and reflection on practices and experiences in the country and organizations. It combines lectures, workshops, case studies and field visits.
