La crisis del modelo de desarrollo ha dado una nueva vigencia a organizaciones que no pertenecen ni al sector privado tradicional ni al sector público. Estas organizaciones reciben diferentes apelaciones, tercer sector, economía solidaria, economía social, economía popular, organizaciones de desarrollo social, etc. Este trabajo se propone analizar los contextos de utilización de algunos de estos términos que designan las actividades que escapan a la lógica capitalista y a la lógica de la administración pública. La nueva constitución venezolana de 2000 incluye en su artículo 184 un término nuevo en el país, el de economía social. Se trata de un término que data del siglo XIX, cuando era utilizado sobre todo en el mundo francófono. La crisis del modelo de desarrollo fordista ha llevado a su reactualización a partir de los años 1980. Las definiciones que tiene varían según los países. Este trabajo tiene como propósito precisar el significado de este término, y de otros que le son afines. Luego, se definen algunos criterios para la delimitación de un sector de economía social en Venezuela.
