Analysis of the National Council of Cooperatives and the Centre for Cooperative Studies in Costa Rica in relation to the principles of cooperative integration and free and voluntary membership
Abstract
Starting in the 1940s, the incorporation of the cooperative figure into Costa Rican legislation began, from that moment until the 1980s of the last century, the legislator in Costa Rica has had an attitude very prone to favoring cooperativism as an instrument for development and inclusion. This predisposition of the legislator in favor of cooperativism that the regulations of the Central American country exhibit, has sometimes led him to transgress fundamental values of the cooperative doctrine, such is the case of the conditions created for the operation and financing of the National Council of Cooperatives CONACOOP and the Centro de Estudios y Capacitación Cooperativa Responsabilidad Limitada CENECOOP RL, entities that are not classic examples of what should be understood by open, voluntary membership and cooperation between cooperatives.
