The aim of this study is to examine the role of the social economy in the process of public policy making, both from a theoretical and from an empirical view. First, it provides a theoretical framework that integrates the most relevant theoretical contributions related to the analysis of the public policy process, as well as those theoretical approaches that justify sector participation in the policy making process. The empirical study presents the case of the “Comunidad Valenciana”, which discusses the degree of participation of the social economy agents in Valencian social dialogue.

The Social Economy (SE) is a third sector in economies, it is instrumental in regulating social innovation and social and economic imbalances, such as employment and the provision of social services. From this perspective, increase the space given to the social sector in the policies of governments is a logical choice if we want to get higher levels of welfare. First we make a compilation and analysis of policies Social Economy. The assets subject to the policies of Social Economy and degrees of involvement of the social economy in the process of developing these policies are analysed from a multilevel perspective comparative (national, regional and international). The effectiveness of social economy policies will be evaluated, addressing both the specific instruments such as the models constructed effect.
