Synopsis
The case studies assembled in this volume attempt to provide the material for comparative research into the ways co-operatives in Third World countries have functioned, and to analyze the reasons for the outstanding success as well as for the innumerable failures in this area. The book is divided into four sections, the themes of which overlap. The first section studies the problems of co-operatives in stratified societies, and whether co-operatives can or do contribute towards equalization of opportunity. In the second section, the effects of planning and intervention are analyzed. The third section is concerned with understanding how rural people co-operate informally, and with established native traditions of teamwork and collaboration. In the final section, one important set of co-operatives is studied from several viewpoints. Have the benefits of membership reached the poorest villages? Can this kind of success be replicated, or is it the product of a combination of unusual circumstances?
