The United Nations declared 2012 the year of cooperatives,
emphasizing that there is an alternative to privately owned firms.
While greed and mismanagement have caused world financial and
economic crises, co-ops offer another type of business for economic
activities that is less exposed to aggressive capitalism. This book
provides a problem-oriented overview of the development of
cooperatives over the last fifty years. The global study addresses
the major challenges cooperatives face, such as the organizational
innovations introduced to acquire necessary risk-capital and
implement growth-related strategies, the wave of demutualization in
developed nations and their ability to construct an original
consumer politics. The contributors to this volume discuss the
successes and failures of the cooperatives and ask whether they are
an outdated model of enterprise. They document a wave of
foundations of new co-ops, new forms of collaboration between them
and a growing trend toward globalization.
