The proclamation by the United Nations that 2012 would be the
International Year of Co-operatives represents a milestone in the
history of the international co-operative movement. It reflects the
growth and renewal of co-operatives globally during the past decade
and a half, whether the focus is on financial co-operatives in
Britain or producer co-operatives across Africa. Co-operatives have
proved resilient in the wake of the global financial crisis of
2008-9 compared to the investor led business and financial
companies which have been found profoundly wanting, financially and
morally. The contributions to The Hidden Alternative demonstrate
that co-operation offers a real and much needed alternative for the
organisation of human economic and social affairs, one that should
establish its place at the forefront of public and academic
discussion and policy making. The book includes chapters on
education, fair trade, politics and governance, planning and
sustainability and on how co-operatives have coped with the global
economic crisis. -- .
