  • Purpose and Scope

    Cooperativismo & Desarrollo aims to disseminate knowledge in the social sciences, focusing on territorial development, alternative economies, and other economic models (social, solidarity, and cooperative economies), analyzing human beings and their multiple interactions from multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary perspectives. The journal contributes to the generation and dissemination of scientific knowledge, recognized in various databases, and is linked to national and international academic and scientific communities.

    Since 2023, Cooperativismo & Desarrollo has been integrated into the process led by the UNESCO Chair in Social and Solidarity Economy, sharing its commitment to the generation and dissemination of knowledge as a global public good, in accordance with UNESCO's mandate. This connection strengthens its academic and international reach through cooperation networks, collaborative publications, and interdisciplinary dialogues focused on territorial development and alternative economies, consolidating the journal as a strategic space for knowledge dissemination and social innovation.
