The book outlines how cooperatives can be used as a tool for
development and reconciliation in post-conflict contexts. This
book also examines the successes and challenges for emerging and
existing cooperatives in Africa, while delivering both practical
lessons and insights into the 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.
