Notes on the Legal Framework of the Cuban Cooperative Environment

Chapter 14 in Cooperatives and Socialism, 2013, pp 317-343 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Human cooperation began with the emergence of our species and manifestations of cooperative labor exist from time immemorial. However, it is only within the past two centuries that the first laws were passed recognizing the cooperative as a legal institution. As far as it is known, legal expressions of cooperatives in Cuba occurred before social ones. The laws that ruled on the island came from the colonial power, Spain, where the prevailing situation led to the regulating of de facto cooperatives as “associations” of individuals.
