2nd
International Forum on Cooperative Law
“COOPERATIVE LAW AND
COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES”
Athens,
26-28 September 2018
Call for papers
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 two local co-organizers: the Open Hellenic University (Athens) and the
Peoples’ University on Social and Solidarity Economy (Thessaloniki).
Aim
Under
the overall theme of “Cooperative Law and Cooperative Principles”, which is to
point to the relevance of the internationally recognized cooperative principles
for cooperative law, the 2nd International Forum on Cooperative Law will
focus on the place of the cooperative principles in cooperative law, the research
and education in the field of cooperative law, and on an exchange of views on
cooperatives by lawyers and economists.
The
themes of the Forum might include:
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, workers’, banking, energy cooperatives), or by governance/structure
(e.g. general interest 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.
It is also planned to have a
dialogue on any of the above or related themes between economists and lawyers,
the motto being: “What can we/what must we learn from each other”?
