Our Co-operative. 2., überarbeitete Auflage
In times of globalisation, locally rooted co-operatives become more important. With transparent structures, member-support, and the mandate of member-promotion, they can build on the trust of their members through self-elected leadership and in the system. Being part of an integrated co-operative system, co-operatives can combine advantages of closeness to members with benefits of large scale enterprises. The present book combines the experience of three specialists from the fields of economic and agrarian policy, law of organisations, and business administration, all having thorough knowledge of co-operative theory and practice. It shows how "Our Co-op" is functioning and what co-operators should know about their organization.

Channel Islands Invaded
In the summer of 1940 the British Isles stood isolated and alone facing the might of a seemingly unstoppable German war machine. Never before had the United Kingdom been in a state of such uncertainty and possible peril. Fortunately the full breadth of the English Channel held back Hitler's armies, and his ambition. Not so for the Channel Islands which stand just a few miles from the French coast. To abandon British territory to the enemy was unthinkable, yet the defence of the Channel Islands was impracticable, if not impossible. It was decided, therefore, to evacuate as many as wished to leave. This is the story of the muddled evacuation, of homes, animals and families left behind, of the German bombing of the islands, the fear of those left behind, and of those first days of German Occupation, told by the Islanders themselves through memoirs and letters, the local newspapers, and the politicians who decided the fate of tens of thousands of men women and children.
Dialogical Foundations of Business Ethics
Seeking an ethical formula that would prove useful for evaluating actions and events occurring in the sphere of business and economics, the author focuses on dialogue. The need for dialogue is justified by the fact that interlocutors share a conviction that the relationship between them is valuable. Although the manner for assessing business experiences in the proposed formula is narrowed down to the interactive criterion of fairness, this criterion is sufficient for enabling partners to agree, or for them to reach a consensus. It reveals to them the ethically and praxeologically destructive effects of refusing to exchange information about their own accomplishments and plans and, sometimes, the consequences of refusing to accept responsibility for the process of others taking on the role of business partners.
Vertical Markets and Cooperative Hierarchies
This book collects sixteen essays that provide clarification to issues pertinent to contemporary cooperatives. Twenty three internationally recognized scholars of agricultural cooperatives from a variety of disciplines such as industrial organization, finance, sociology, networks, and political theory contributed theoretical work and empirical observations from different countries.
Agricultural Protectionism in the Industrialized World
Originally published in 1990, Agricultural Protectionism in the Industrialized World takes a detailed look into the domestic and international agricultural policies of the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. These areas are some of the most industrialised in the world and this study focuses on the benefits, policies and costs related to protectionism of their agriculture. These papers offer detailed analysis of the evolution, objections and domestic and international implications related to agriculture in specific countries as well as taking a global view of issues such as policy, trends and costs and concluding with a discussion on the effects of free trade. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies.
Seizing Control
Seizing Control assess changes twelve international authorities see occurring in the global food system. Dr. Douglass C. North watches viability of existing business forms (Noble Prize 1993, Prof. Economics & History, Washington Univ., St. Louis, MO); Dr. David Hughes (Wye College, Univ of London) examines product differentiation and countervailing power rising from consumers; Lee Egerstrom details the disaster of horizontal expansion. Drs. Roel Jaap in 't Veld (Utrecht Univ.) and Vernon Ruttan (U MN) assess cooperative strengths when approaching change. Drs. Jesper Strandskov (Aarhus Univ., Denmark), Jerker Nilsson, (Uppsala Univ., Sweden), Werner Grosskopf, (Univ. of Hohenheim, Germany), and Michael Cook (U of MO) offer perspectives on cooperatives and changes occurring in their countries; Drs. Arie van der Zwan (Nijenrode Univ.) and Van Dijk (Director, Netherlands National Cooperative Council) discuss how expansion and international markets are dislocating local labor markets while summarizing opportunities experts see for local people.
