Abstract: Abstract The widespread assumption that mergers are the best way for co-operatives to break free from their “natural” territorial anchoring (perceived to be a strong impediment to their global insertion) is questionable. Observation of the recent merging processes of wine co-operatives shows a more subtle phenomenon at work. On the one hand mergers do indeed loosen their constitutive territorial anchoring. On the other hand, they also come together with new geographical and organized proximities, prone to the re-dimensioning of the territorial scale of the co-operative action. These findings were supported by a round of thorough interviews with most of the managers of the Aquitanian co-operatives created by merger between 1994 and 2006.
