Structuring community cooperatives
Synonyms:
Facilitating local cooperative efforts Description:
Concretely involving community members in an economic-based activity with which polity methods are experimented. The effect is in tangentially doing political retraining in community mind-building by using the cooperative as the economic springboard. It also provides the base for actual community involvement by local citizens. Context:
An integral part of localizing cooperative participation and enabling each individual to have an equal opportunity for effective participation in the global economic process. Implementation:
Tactics include: service exchange to bring together a compilation of needs and services within a designated geographical area so that the various resources can be structured and the needs met; marketing practices to protect the community consumer by providing guidelines, information, and motivation through which the individual consumer can most beneficially participate in the economy of his community; consensus polity to re-image the corporate decision-making process; cooperatives control to provide channels through which representative leaders may be held answerable to every member of the cooperative; and community mobilization to reveal action-oriented leadership from the community for the economic control of the cooperative. An example is a local community cooperative's board meeting to determine the design, function, and constituency of its cooperative. Broader:
