Abstract: Cooperatives, and more particularly cooperative participative societes (Scop) and collective interest cooperative societies (Scic), are enjoying a revival of activity in the economic, political and scientific spheres. Research works have multiplied, in particular on governance and management, but the link to the territory of this type of cooperatives remains under documented. The originality of this article is to question the relations between cooperatives and territorial governance by asking the following question : do production cooperatives (Scop and Scic) participate in territorial governance? Does the fact that these cooperatives have a participative internal dynamic and governance make them singular actors of territorial governance? Based on a qualitative methodology comparing 2 Scop and 3 Scic, we highlight that cooperatives, despite their singularities, remain at the margin of territorial governance, for three reasons : the great heterogeneity of their relationships with the territory, the predominance of sector and network logics, and finally their still embryonic political work for their recognition.
