Book review: Understanding Social Enterprise: Theory and Practice

Despite the increasing academic interest in the nature and practice of social enterprise, much still remains unknown about the concept. I was therefore interested to see how this book extends our knowledge and understanding of social enterprise both on a theoretical and practical level. Accordingly, the book provides a number of interesting cases in different socioeconomic contexts and geographical areas, offering insight into the variegated nature of social enterprise. The cases are also augmented by relevant theoretical perspectives and frameworks that extend our knowledge and understanding of the development of social enterprise.
