Title: The Mondragon cooperative group as a case of industrial democracy Authors: Lucas, Antonio Abstract: Among the multiple experiences of cooperativism, there is one in Spain that is especially recognised as unique or unusual: That of the Mondragon Cooperative Group which is a really paradigmatic example of successful industrial cooperativism. Its study is quite interesting in the field of Social Sciences, especially for those who specialise in Industrial Sociology, as a social innovation which can perhaps only be explained by the influence of the complex political circumstances of the area.

Title: The cooperative experience of Greece Authors: Nicolaou-Smokoviti, Litsa Abstract: Cooperatives have a long history in modern Greece (Sanders, 1962). Greek law is special here insofar as the state maintains a strong presence in cooperative matters, because the cooperative movement was always considered as requiring state support and guidance.

Title: A global contemporary review of cooperativism Authors: Muralt, Jurgen von Abstract: Long before the pioneers of Rochdale opened their first cooperative store, people nowadays forgotten and famous thinkers propagated and experimented with cooperative forms of production and living together. The list is long but one person who stands out among the m is Robert Owen. This Welsh/Scottish industrialist created several cooperative settlements, the best known being New Lanark, but none of these establishments managed to survive. Particularly among the utopian socialists there were many who dreamt of a world based upon workers' cooperatives. Looking back one must conclude that the success of production cooperatives, both in agriculture and industry, was limited. The first and second industrial revolutions were more influenced by individualistic entrepreneurs than by ideas of collective action.
