The 26th issue of Arena Quarterly has a special section on cooperatives. Post-capitalist work, social engagement and new forms of housing are the centrepiece of this issue—how to cooperate with others to get all manner of things working for you, your communities, your comrades. This is the promise of the cooperative movement. Practitioners and researchers in this special section provide crucial leads for thinking about and enacting new forms of meaningful association. The section seeks to look at the possibilities, limits and structural conditions that shape cooperatives in today’s context of converging crises.
This special section is also an invitation for deepening conversations on co-operatives and post-capitalism. We warmly welcome replies, responses, critiques and further developments. If you would like to make a considered reply to any of the pieces, please write it up as a submission and send it in. Furthermore, we would love to have another special issue on cooperatives, maybe next year. Please get in contact if you would like to pitch a piece for this, and keep these vital discussions alive and developing.
