| description | In the philosophical meaning, the cooperative is a result of the knowing experimentally
development and includes the interaction between: persons of consequence – through ideas and attitudes,
state – through laws and institutes, experiences – through structures and effects.
In Romania, in the first half of the XIXth century, and to the threshold of the Second World War, are
remarked numerous persons of consequence who promote and support the cooperative movement, such
as P.S. Aurelian, Spiru Haret, Ion Raducanu, Virgil Madgearu, Mitita Constantinescu and Nicolae
Cornateanu.
The state has accepted the cooperative as an instrument of the democratization of the capital and
profit. The cooperative movement had fight continuously towards promotion of the collaboration principle
between cooperative companies, principle by virtue of which the organizations can manifest independence
in confrontation with the state.
The experiences had been substantiated mostly on the ideology of modern cooperative systems:
Rochdale, Raiffaisen and Schulttze.
The Romanian cooperative movement appeared, just like in the majority of European states, on a
background of some restrictions in the agricultural field, generated by a complex of factors among which
the main position in a constant way had been hold by the contest between the big and small agricultural
farms.
In Romania, during the period before and after-war, cooperatives’ organization worked successfully
as credit cooperatives or economical cooperatives (consumption cooperatives, supply and sale cooperatives,
forestry cooperatives, purchase community, leasing community, etc.).
The various shapes of the cooperative movements shows the potential which those have had in the
purpose of their economical development and social situation improvement of the farmers. The potential
was narrowed not only by the legislative and institutional instability, but more by the agricultural
market size and intensity. The cooperatives activities efficiency was depending, before all, on the economic
and social environment within which they were acting. But the economic environment was imposing
as market partner, the farm as an economic-social entity with autarchic behaviour. In consequence
the cooperative sector’s performances were conditioned by the farms’ performances. |
