Organizational scholars pay insufficient attention to noncapitalist enterprises, which limits management theorizing. This article is based on a participatory action research project conducted in the town of Asbury Park in New Jersey, where community researchers attempted to map the solidarity economy of the region in order to promote a different kind of economic development. It presents the findings of the project, which involved investigating the economy and surveying collective forms of organizing in sectors such as agriculture and finance. Examining the well-developed Brazilian solidarity economy movement as contextual background, the lessons from that movement could prove useful to incipient US efforts. Using the findings of the Asbury Park project, the significance and implications of supply chains in sustaining alternative economies will be explored.

Este artículo compara tres casos diferentes en los que la política de migración se intersecta con la política de comercio: EE UU y México, la Unión Europea y España, y Cuba y Venezuela. Se esgrime que, mientras EE UU y México construyen un acuerdo de libre comercio diseñado para promover el flujo de capital y bienes, el acuerdo no tuvo en cuenta el desplazamiento producido y la inevitabilidad de la migración; por otro lado, la política de migración se tornó cada vez más restrictiva en ese mismo lapso de tiempo. Por el contrario, la UE se embarcó en una política de integración que demandaba que fondos para el "ajuste estructural" fueran estratégicamente desplegados en España, con el resultado de emigración española reducida. Y finalmente, examinamos brevemente el tratado de comercio inaugural del ALBA entre Cuba y Venezuela, como régimen comercial basado en la solidaridad con un tratamiento marcadamente diferente hacia la mano de obra migratoria. ; This article compares three different cases where migration policy intersects with trade policy: the US and Mexico, the European Union and Spain, and Cuba and Venezuela. It is argued that while the US and Mexico constructed a free trade agreement designed to promote the flow of capital and commodities, the agreement failed to account for the displacement produced and the inevitability of migration; on the other hand, migration policy became increasingly restrictionist in the same time period. In contrast, the EU embarked on a policy of integration that called for "structural adjustment" funds to be strategically deployed in Spain, with the outcome of reduced Spanish emigration. And lastly, we briefly examine ALBA's inaugural trade agreement between Cuba and Venezuela as a solidarity-based trade regime with a markedly different treatment of migrant labor. ; 81-96 ; msafri@drew.edu ; semestral
