This research proposes an in-depth description of Angoli di Mondo (hereafter: ADM). It is an Italian organization rooted in local networks in Padova, with external connections to accelerate growth. ADM formally combines multiple practices and activities delivered through two institutional structures: the cooperative and the association. Both structures capture the organization's essence, whereby they primarily pursue a social and environmental mission in tandem with economic practices, employing circular economy and fair trade. ADM represents a hybrid local model that aims to foster local development mainly at the local level, where it has gained prominence, and accords with the European Union's vision of turning citizens into drivers of development. The central objective of this research is to provide a descriptive context of ADM's work by delivering a profile of the main activities and mechanisms through which ADM supports local development, and detecting the latent events that strike a balance between the social, environmental, and economic goals of local development, simultaneously, mapping the internal and external actors who collaborate with and facilitate the mission delivery.
Questa ricerca propone una descrizione approfondita di Angoli di Mondo (di seguito: ADM). Si tratta di un'organizzazione italiana radicata nelle reti locali di Padova, con connessioni esterne per accelerare la crescita. ADM combina formalmente molteplici pratiche e attività realizzate attraverso due strutture istituzionali: la cooperativa e l'associazione. Entrambe le strutture colgono l'essenza dell'organizzazione, che persegue principalmente una missione sociale e ambientale in parallelo con pratiche economiche, impiegando l'economia circolare e il commercio equo e solidale. ADM rappresenta un modello locale ibrido che mira a promuovere lo sviluppo locale principalmente a livello locale, dove ha acquisito rilevanza, e si allinea alla visione dell'Unione Europea di trasformare i cittadini in motori di sviluppo. L'obiettivo centrale di questa ricerca è fornire un contesto descrittivo dell'operato di ADM, delineando un profilo delle principali attività e meccanismi attraverso i quali ADM supporta lo sviluppo locale e individuando gli eventi latenti che creano un equilibrio tra gli obiettivi sociali, ambientali ed economici dello sviluppo locale, mappando al contempo gli attori interni ed esterni che collaborano e facilitano la realizzazione della missione.

Abstract
This research proposes an in-depth description of Angoli di Mondo (hereafter: ADM). It is an Italian organization rooted in local networks in Padova, with external connections to accelerate growth. ADM formally combines multiple practices and activities delivered through two institutional structures: the cooperative and the association. Both structures capture the organization's essence, whereby they primarily pursue a social and environmental mission in tandem with economic practices, employing circular economy and fair trade. ADM represents a hybrid local model that aims to foster local development mainly at the local level, where it has gained prominence, and accords with the European Union's vision of turning citizens into drivers of development. The central objective of this research is to provide a descriptive context of ADM's work by delivering a profile of the main activities and mechanisms through which ADM supports local development, and detecting the latent events that strike a balance between the social, environmental, and economic goals of local development, simultaneously, mapping the internal and external actors who collaborate with and facilitate the mission delivery.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
