The New Mutualism in Public Policy (Routledge Studies in Business Organizations and Networks)

<p>Mutuality has become a topic of debate recently for a whole range of academics and social commentators. The 'demutualisation' of banks and building societies has been partnered by the idea of a 'new mutualism' , forming a set of social values and beliefs, and this collection looks at the manifestations of these trends and the implications for the future.</p>

The "Co-op", one of the world's most successful businesses, has been a common experience for millions of working-class people in Britain since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. This work celebrates, in words and pictures, the history of a social movement which began with shopkeeping and grew into a large-scale international business, completely owned and controlled by its customers. This title tells how this British invention spread across the world - from the 28 "Rochdale Pioneers" of 1844 to the 700 million members of today's International Co-operative Alliance - and how it was adapted to meet a variety of human needs, including worker, housing, fishing, agricultural and credit co-ops. It shows how, as a third way between capitalism and state control, co-operative businesses continue to transform the lives of the poorer people in the "Third World" and in the post-communist countries of Eastern Europe.

Co-Op: The People's Business

This study traces the history and development of the International Co-operative Movement, from its foundation in 1895 to the present. It shows how the movement grew in different countries in response to industrialization, urbanization and the growth of market economies. The book goes on to examine the co-operative "ideal", and to illustrate how co-operative movements have developed in practice in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Finally, the volume looks at democratic theories of participation, and assesses the future of the Co-operative Movement.

The International Co-Operative Movement

The International Co-operative Movement follows on from Johnston Birchall’s widely acclaimed Co-op: The People’s Business ( MUP, 1994). The volume traces the history and development of the International Co-operative Movement (ICA) - an organisation that represents over 700 million individuals worldwide - from its foundation in 1895, up to the present day. The introductory chapter illustrates how the Co-operative Movement grew in different countries in response to industrialisation, urbanisation and the growth of market economies. Subsequent chapters examine the co-operative ‘ideal’, and illustrate how co-operative movements have developed in practice in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas. Finally, the volume looks at democratic theories of participation, and assesses the future of the Co-operative Movement. Comprehensive, wide-ranging and accessible, the volume will be of interest to economic and social historians, as well as those involved with co-operative movements.
