2nd International Forum on Cooperative Law2

2nd International Forum on Cooperative Law : “COOPERATIVE LAW AND COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES”

The 2nd International Forum on Cooperative Law follows the one organized in 2016 at Montevideo, Uruguay. The fruitful outcome of the Montevideo Forum – both as concerns the number of participants and the positive feed-back –  led to the decision to organize such meetings biannually.

The 2nd International Forum on Cooperative Law will be organized  at Athens by Ius Cooperativum, with the support of the International Co-operative Alliance and of two local co-organizers: the Hellenic Open University (Athens) and the Peoples’ University on Social and Solidarity Economy (Thessaloniki).

The themes of the Forum are the following:

1.    The legal relevance (if any) of the cooperative principles for cooperative law

2.    The legal relevance (if any) of the cooperative principles for other fields of law (e.g. constitutions, administration law, tax law, bankruptcy law, labor law, competition law, bankruptcy law, audit regulations, book-keeping and accounting standards)

3.    Legal requirements (if any) for specific types of cooperatives, either by sector (e.g. agricultural, banking, energy cooperatives), or by governance/structure (e.g. workers’ cooperatives, multi-stakeholder cooperatives, social cooperatives)

4.    The unification of cooperative law at national, regional and international levels

5.    Cooperative law and the legal framework of the social economy

6.    Cooperative law and globalization.

7.    Policies on research and education in the field of cooperative law

8.    Educational programs in the field of cooperative law

9.    Tools for the research and study of cooperative law.
