Cooperation among cooperatives: principle or need?
Abstract
The article starts dealing with the meaning of the word «principle» from the point of view both of philosophy and grammar. Against that background it goes on considering specifically the principle of cooperation among cooperatives exploring briefly about its historical origins and the incorporation into the cooperative doctrine in different stages up to the Statement on the Cooperative Identity approved by the ICA Centennial Congress in 1995. The following paragraphs are devoted to the economic meaning of the principle and the influence of the law on its application in a world of a highly competitive economy. Finally, the author concludes with a reference to the meaning of this principle as «cooperative integration» in the sense of uniting the different parts of a whole and the ideas of different authors that lead to the synthesis of principle and need.
