This book discusses social innovations by cooperatives from the
Asia and Pacific region. Social innovations emerge when the state
and market in developing countries find it difficult to solve
problems such as poverty, hunger, ill health, poor education
systems, inadequate drinking water and poor sanitation. These
countries also face barriers to economic growth such as climate
change, poor governance, unequal opportunities and social
exclusion. This volume therefore addresses the following questions.
What are the distinctive features of social innovations by
cooperatives? How social innovations bring in changes in the
process and outcome of development? After presenting theories of
social innovation and a critical review of cooperatives and social
innovation, the book presents 15 chapters on social innovations by
cooperatives in the Asia Pacific region. These social innovations
are related to health insurance, community based tourism, disaster
response, climate smart agriculture, use of social media for youth
empowerment, training for the emergence of second-line leaders in
cooperatives, social inclusion through innovative finance,
profitable marketing of organic produce to strengthen economic
status of small farmers, digital auction and value addition for
income security of farmer members, collaboration between
cooperative members and workers for the mutual benefit, worker
cooperatives, women leadership and participation, building
union-cooperative partnership in finance and rating of cooperatives
to promote transparency and accountability. A chapter on innovative
services of cooperatives during the time of Covid19 is also
included. This volume will be quite significant for co-operators,
researchers, teachers, practitioners and policy-makers at the
global level. The theme is relevant for international development
community and national cooperatives with concern for their
communities, which is the seventh cooperative principle of
International Cooperative Alliance and the Sustainable Development
Goal of the UN.
