Deborah Sick, B. S. Baviskar, Donald W. Attwood

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

This chapter examines the role of cooperatives in rural development. Starting with examples from India, we discuss ‘formal’ cooperatives (established under official regulatory frameworks), ‘informal’ cooperation (customary methods of pooling labour, savings, etc.), and the importance of cooperatives in the ‘new social economy’. What factors cause these varied organizations to succeed or fail, and what benefits accrue to the poor if they succeed?
