Abstract: Solidarity is not only an attribute of the cooperative value system, it is also a principle of regulation which works together with the principles of the market and the hierarchy to structure activities and relationships among actors. It exists within the day-to-day activities of an organization, in its interorganizational set, as an expression of members' networking skill and in the internal trust relations that link the organizational actors together. An empirical study conducted in two areas of Italy is outlined in order to illustrate how different kinds of solidarity, within different environments, shape different forms of cooperative development.
