Waking the Asian Pacific Cooperative Potential: How Co-operative Firms Started, Overcame Challenges, and Addressed Poverty Across the Asia Pacific

Waking the Asian Pacific Co-operative Potential: How Co-operative Firms Started, Overcame Challenges, and Addressed Poverty Across the Asia Pacific applies a novel theoretical framework to aid in understanding meaningful change in co-operative firms, mutual firms, collectives, and communes, focusing in particular on the underexamined Asia Pacific region. It explores the common, albeit competing, objectives of transformational co-operatives that deliver a range of social benefits and corporative co-ops where the co-operative exhibits the characteristics of a competitive investor firm. The book provides examples of successful co-operatives in eleven countries across the Asia Pacific and reviews the theoretical framework of co-operatives, including issues pertaining to socio-economic, politico-legal, and domestic and international factors. The book is ideal for early-career researchers and graduate students, providing a systematic resource of co-operatives in the Asia Pacific, highlighting core lessons from case studies regarding the ideal role of co-operatives in a modern economy, the market potential for scale-up, and the mitigation of poverty and civil society.
