Mainstreaming Cooperation – An Alternative for the 21st Century?
Tuesday 3rd July 2012 – Thursday 5th July 2012, Manchester and Rochdale
The United Nations has declared 2012 to be the International Year of Co‑operatives. In celebration, this major international forum will discuss how co-operatives in every sphere of social, economic, political and cultural life can emerge globally in the coming century as a participatory, democratic alternative to competitive, private, profit-driven, liberal market democracies.
The Co‑operative College, University of Liverpool, Manchester Metropolitan University, Liverpool John Moores University, Edge Hill University and the University of Central Lancashire are organising this major interdisciplinary conference, with support from the Co-operative Group.
