Beskrivning
Co-operativism and Local Development in Cuba consists of a series of pathbreaking essays on the role of co-operativism, and the new co-operatives, in the democratic transformation of Cuba and the government’s plan to update the model in the current context. The contributors are well-known specialists on Cuba, co-operativism and local development. With a shared concern for how an increased focus on co-operativism and local development can contribute to the updating of the Cuban model and the advance of socialism, the contributors to the book have placed an analysis of the issues involved in the broader context of the international co-operative movement and the ongoing capitalist development process in Latin America. Contributors include: Milford Bateman, Al Campbell, Grizel Donéstevez Sánchez, Cliff DuRand, Olga Fernández Ríos, Julio C. Gambina, Camila Piñeiro Harnecker, Sonja Novković, Dayrelis Ojeda Suris, Gabriela Roffinelli, Frederick. S. Royce, Dean Sinković, Henry Veltmeyer, Marcelo Vieta.

Recensioner i media

"This volume brings together an array of social scientists who reflect on the emergence of a new form of co-operativism in Cuba as part of a wider reform agenda. The contributions in the book examine the progression of co-operativism in Cuba in a historical context as well as its current manifestation and potential for transforming Cuba’s economy. This is a timely and relevant contribution to understanding co-operatives and other social and solidarity economy entities as part of a broad effort to create an alternative to neoliberalism not only in Cuba but also in the larger Latin America region."--Simel Esim, Cooperatives Programme, ILO, www.ilo.org/coop"A timely, candid and sober multidisciplinary appraisal of how an already solidarity-oriented society like Cuba might be prepared and challenged to take the next crucial steps to develop a truly worker co-operative-based socialism." --Peter Ranis, Professor Emeritus Political Science, City University of New York
