Beschreibung
This textbook is an updated re-edition of a “classic” on
co-operative law, translated into more than 20 languages.
This edition integrates an analysis of the 1995 Statement of
the Co-operative Identity of the International Co-operative
Alliance and the impact of political, economic and social
changes during the past 40 years. The original pattern of
the book remains unchanged: Two questions are answered for
each of the identified principles: What is the meaning of
this co-operative principle? How is this principle
translated into co-operative legislation?
In the second, revised edition two additional questions are
discussed and answered for each of the chapters: What are
the new development trends leading to what new rules in
co-operative legislation?
Hans-H. Münkner is Professor emeritus of law
and theory of co-operation
and was from 1992 to 2000
Managing Director of the Institute for Co-operation in
Developing Countries of the University of Marburg.
