The 25 years leading up to the international financial crisis have
been depicted as 'capitalism unleashed', containing deregulation,
privatisation, demutualisation and financialisation. Yet
remarkably, given this economic and political context,
co-operatives and mutuals appear to have been gaining ground in
many countries, albeit modestly, even before the international
financial crisis and the resulting global recession, from which the
global economy is still only slowly recovering. The 2007-2008
international financial crisis called into question how appropriate
the shareholder-owned model is, certainly if it is allowed to
dominate the financial services sector. However the International
Co-operative Alliance is determined to make the mutual and
co-operative sector of the economy a dynamic, sustainable and
increasingly important sector of the global economy. This book
looks at the contribution of co-operative, mutual and
employee-owned firms to the Asia Pacific economy - both currently
and prospectively - and the challenges the standard 'Western' model
faces regarding employment and output. It also looks at the role of
Governments, the nature of co-operatives in China and the role of
the state, and the future prospects for cross-border growth of
co-operative and mutual business within Asia Pacific, and more
widely. This book was originally published as a Special Issue of
Asia Pacific Business Review.
