Abstract

The present contribution, which main thematic is to expose the way, form and opportunity in which intercooperation operated as an instrumental way, eventually or potentially, to back up —and overcome if it was needed— the impact of the worldwide economic crisis in the geopolitical space in Uruguay. This work considers effects and consequences of this crisis in the mentioned country, despite the relatively of that impact in the reality of cooperatives, the almost inexistence or verifiable cases of intercooperation, in order they were not necessary, the positive legal previsions that are part of the new cooperative normative, in relation with the intercooperative promotion and integration, some interesting experiences of cooperative development in the critical period between 2008 and 2009. This contribution closes with some conclusions that consider the intercooperative’s aptitude and the integration’s ways —and at the end— for the progress of cooperatives in economic and social issues.
