Reviews

'This edited volume is an important contribution to the literature on co-operatives, highlighting the growing consumer co-operative sector in South Korea. The book sheds light on the important linkages between social movements and co-operative enterprises, from food safety and food security to gender equality. The multi-stakeholder nature of Korean co-operatives places them firmly within the evolving and transformative social and solidarity economy.' - Sonja Novkovic, Chair, ICA Committee on Co-operative Research
