Due its intrinsic characteristics, which prioritize collective benefit and influence local development, SE has been viewed as specially rooted in a territory. Thus, it can be expected that the more proximity on policies, the more positive effect of these efforts. In this paper we explore these relationships by analysing Galician’s case, one autonomous region in Spain. In this region, government promotion has been decisive in enhancing SE, establishing a favourable ecosystem that has made this region the seminal reference for the regional development of SE, with significant repercussions on its territory. Building on this analysis, this study undertakes a subnational approach regarding the public policies aimed to promote SE, so the results might be useful to enhance the effectiveness of these policies, focusing on proximity and adjustment to the territory PB Taylor and Francis Group SN 2162-2671 YR 2021 FD 2021 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32119 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32119 LA eng NO Maria Bastida, Alberto Vaquero García & Miguel Á.
