Rural Cooperation & the Renewal of Rural Socialism in Africa

Peter Lawrence ()

Review of African Political Economy, 2003, vol. 30, issue 96, 241-248

Abstract: This article examines the debates over the role of co-operatives in the building of socialism and more generally their possible role as important organisations for boosting production and creating opportunities for collective decision making in capitalist and transition economies. It does so by putting centre stage the benefits of rural co-operation as well as the historical pitfalls. It stresses the opportunity for cooperatives to boost the democratic imperative for socialist development even at a time of neo-liberal ascendency
