La utilización del modelo de gobernanza policéntrica, de Elinor Ostrom, como medio de salvaguardar la efectividad de la gestión democrática de las cooperativas en las situaciones de representación delegada
Abstract
In accordance with the principle of democratic management, cooperatives are organizations controlled by their members, who participate actively and directly in determining their policies and in making decisions. However, when the cooperative society increases considerably in terms of territorial coverage or number of members, the law of Brazilian cooperatives establishes the possibility of delegated representation for the holding of general assemblies. In this sense, this article aims to analyze the model of polycentric governance developed by Elinor Ostrom, using it as a theoretical alternative to explain the democratic management of large cooperative societies that have the opportunity to delegate representation. The aim is to confirm that the adoption of delegated representation forms a multidemocratic governance system that not only does not affect the participatory essence of all members but also protects democracy in cooperative management advocated by the maxim of one man one vote. To materialize the research, we will use the inductive approach method with indirect research use.
