Aims and Scopes

The 'Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics' focuses on the intersection between cooperative economics and public policy, examining how cooperative models can contribute to economic development, social welfare, and sustainability.

    Investigates the relationship between cooperative organizations and public policies, including governance structures and regulatory frameworks that affect cooperative performance.
  3. Social Capital and Community Development:
    Studies the role of cooperatives in building social capital and enhancing community welfare, particularly in rural and marginalized areas.
  4. Sustainability and Social Innovation:
    Explores how cooperatives contribute to environmental sustainability and social innovation, particularly in agriculture, finance, and public services.
  5. Gender and Inclusivity in Cooperatives:
    Examines the role of cooperatives in promoting gender equality and inclusivity, focusing on women's participation and leadership within cooperative structures.
Recent publications have highlighted several emerging themes within the journal, reflecting current global challenges and the evolving role of cooperatives in society. These themes indicate a shift towards more integrated and innovative approaches to cooperative economics.
  1. Digital Economy and Platform Cooperativism:
    There is a growing interest in how cooperatives can operate within the digital economy, emphasizing democratic governance and equitable access to digital resources.
  2. Financial Inclusion and Microfinance:
    The role of cooperatives in promoting financial inclusion, particularly through microfinance initiatives, has gained traction, reflecting global efforts to enhance access to financial services.

    Research increasingly focuses on how social capital within cooperatives influences economic outcomes, highlighting the importance of trust and community ties.

    Cooperatives are being examined for their contributions to achieving SDGs, particularly in areas such as poverty reduction, gender equality, and sustainable agriculture.
  5. Innovations in Cooperative Governance:
    Emerging studies are exploring novel governance structures within cooperatives that promote inclusivity and member engagement, adapting to contemporary economic challenges.

Declining or Waning

While the journal has a broad range of topics, certain themes have shown a decline in publication frequency or relevance in recent years. This may reflect changing research interests or shifts in the cooperative sector's dynamics.
  1. Traditional Agricultural Cooperatives:
    Research focusing solely on traditional agricultural cooperatives appears to be waning, as newer models and hybrid forms of cooperatives gain attention.
  2. State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs):
    There has been a noticeable decrease in articles specifically addressing SOEs, suggesting a shift towards more diverse forms of cooperative governance and management.
  3. Public Sector Entrepreneurship:
    The exploration of governmental roles in cooperative entrepreneurship seems to be less prominent, possibly due to a move towards examining more grassroots and community-led initiatives.
  4. Historical Analysis of Cooperatives:
    Papers analyzing the historical context of cooperatives are less frequent, indicating a potential shift towards contemporary issues and practical applications.
