This book examines the successes and challenges for emerging and existing cooperatives in Africa, while delivering both practical lessons and insights into theory. It presents completely new materials on the cooperative movement, against a backdrop of increasing global recognition of the roles of cooperatives and collective action in socio-economic development. Readers are invited to consider how, as an economic model that seeks to advance member collective interests, cooperatives are invaluable tools for human, economic and social development. Social and human geographers find this a remarkably impactful contribution to the literature surrounding cooperatives in Africa and cooperative theory in general. Policy experts and students also find the research informative and insightful. . 000756181 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 12, 2016). 000756181 650_0 $$aCooperative societies$$zSouth Africa. 000756181 7001_ $$aOkem, Andrew Emmanuel,$$eeditor. 000756181 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783319342153 000756181 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in geography. 000756181 852__ $$bebk 000756181 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-34216-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000756181 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:756181$$pGLOBAL_SET 000756181 980__ $$aEBOOK 000756181 980__ $$aBIB 000756181 982__ $$aEbook 000756181 983__ $$aOnline 000756181 994__ $$a92$$bISE
