Cooperatives in the Global Economy presents a unique collection of research-based chapters contributed by leading social and economic thinkers that provide critical insights into how the cooperative business model meets the challenges of the complex global problems in today’s competitive economy. Apart from theoretical arguments in favor of the value-based cooperative business model, this book presents the performance indicators of various forms of cooperatives, their potentialities, and challenges they face across borders. The contributors reexamine how cooperatives empower the marginalized population of the world by bringing them into the mainstream of socio-economic activities through creating employment opportunities, working towards alleviation of poverty, ensuring for more equitable distribution of scarce resources, and providing the basis for a sustainable economy and its meaningful growth. Today, in the global competitive economy, the challenges for cooperatives are enormous due to their particular value commitments, forms of incorporation, and organizational structures. In spite of the presence of several challenges, cooperatives promote economic growth and social justice. In this context, this book also presents the critical roles of cooperatives in balancing economic, social, and environmental concerns to build a better, equitable, and sustainable world.

Reviews for Cooperatives in the Global Economy

The cooperative form of enterprise attracts, today, growing interest, and for good reason. Cooperatives in the Global Economy is at once timely, original, and useful in policy making. It is a must-read for those interested in how the world could be a fairer and more enjoyable place. -- Stefano Zamagni, University of Bologna As the world economy struggles with a viable response to the scourges of climate change, exploding income, wealth inequality, an accelerating extinction of species, and declining life in the oceans, it becomes clear that we need viable alternatives. This book explores the opportunity to grow business alternatives with the purpose to meet human need and replace our current simple and dangerous enslavement to the needs of capital. -- J. Tom Webb, Sobey School of Business
