The Cooperative Matter in Cuba. Perspectives
Abstract
The cooperative in Cuba has suffered various approaches. Today it moves in a legal agricultural and non-agricultural environment, sitting on non-expressive legal norms of its social nature and still pending a General Norm of Cooperatives; matter of supreme importance for the Cuban socialist project of the 21st century, based on the fact that, although cooperatives were born in capitalism as a response of the dispossessed to the aberrant forms of exploitation, in socialism they emerged due to their humanistic nature and their ability to contribute to the ethical, moral, ideological, socioeconomic development and to the peculiar values of Cuban society. For the development of this contribution, the Cuban State is obliged to guarantee efficient state promotion and promotion. On this basis, the purpose of this work is to venture into the cooperative as a socio / legal institution; the problematic of the Cuban cooperative matter, and in the theoretical proposals as foundations of its solution.
