Morris Altman, Anthony Jensen, Akira Kurimoto, Robby Tulus, Yashavantha Dongre and Seungkwon Jang (Eds.): Waking the Asian Pacific Co-operative Potential

“Is it possible to identify a regional cooperative model (or models) of the Asia Pacific region?” With 23 case studies across 11 countries and four cooperative sectors (agricultural cooperatives, consumer cooperatives, credit cooperatives and worker cooperatives), the 44 authors of Waking the Asian Pacific Co-operative Potential boldly try to answer this question. This voluminous book with around 400 pages-a valuable fruit of a long and collective adventure of cooperative researchers in the Asia-Pacific region-was stimulated and constructed by dynamics around regional conferences of the International Cooperative Alliance Asia-Pacific Committee on Cooperative Research (ICAAP CCR).
