Abstract

The cooperatives-based movement in Europe has maintained as an important tradition of socioeconomic organization alternative to the dominant capitalist forms, and it is part of the societal system of alternatives to capitalism. This system is based on and aimed at constructing of collective and cooperative forms of production and exchange. Denmark's society can be defined as a society of empowered citizens-workers. In order to understand the role of Cooperatives-based movement in the Danish national-societal system of alternatives to capitalism a double analysis is made: a) an analysis of the type of cooperatives-based movement in Denmark with its variants and trajectories; and b) an analysis of the coevolution of the cooperatives-based movement  movement in relation to other social movements that have developed the collective dimension of socioeconomic organization, namely, the labour-union movement and the social democratic movement of welfare state. This national analysis is framed within a regional context of the Nordic countries and Europe.
