In the first part of this paper, we present the different conceptions which structure the debate and the contexts in which those concepts took root. This presentation paves the way for the second part, in which we analyze the conceptual convergences and divergences among the different schools and the way the Australian debate is articulated to them. For that purpose, we rely on the results of the final report of the FASES research (Barraket et al., 2010). The aim of “Finding Australia’s Social Enterprise Sector” was to identify the range and the scope of social enterprises in Australia. This report seems to be pioneering in identifying this growing field
