“…The increasing integration of labour markets could also raise a bit the opportunity cost and strengthen the bargaining capacity of vine-croppers at that time, some of whom renounced to their rabassa morta contracts voluntarily to search for a job in the nearby industrial factories. 2 Seen in a long-term historical perspective, the reaction of Catalan landowners after the closure of vine-planting frontier and the ensuing upward trends experienced by the rental-wage ratios ( Figures 3, 4 and 5) fit quite well with the strong social unrest and political polarization found within many Catalan rural communities which relied on viticulture during the second half of the 19 th century and along the first third of the 20 th century (Planas and Valls-Junyent, 2011;Planas, 2013;Colomé, 2013). We may consider that, together with Smithian, Ricardian and Boserupian variables, the Marxian driving force of class struggle also played a role in this process.…”

We present a model of vine-growing specialization that explains the key agricultural change carried out before and throughout the Catalan industrialization. The results confirm the role played by a "Smithian" market-pull force exerted from the Atlantic demand, together with the "Boserupian" population-push on land-use intensification. They jointly put in motion a process of opening and closing of an inner frontier of vineyard planting, whose local impact was conditioned by the agroecological endowments as well as to the different levels and trends of income inequality. Vineyard planting gave rise to less inequality up to the 1820s, but it grew again afterwards.

“…In (Planas & Valls Junyent, 2011, pág. 315) [27], the authors point out that "The participation of peasants in cooperatives was highly conditioned to the trust inspired by their leaders". This is similarly suggested in (Caballero, 2015, pág.…”

This research was carried out with the objective of analyzing the principles of social and solidarity economy in the community funds of the rural sector of Pichincha, Ecuador. Small organizations promote microcredits for local, social and economic development, representing an alternative to those managed by traditional banks. The research was descriptive, non-experimental field research. The population analyzed consisted of 220 community funds, and the size of the representative sample was 49 community organizations that practice solidarity finance. The data were collected through online questionnaires using a Likert scale, and the validity of this approach was judged by experts; the reliability of the instrument obtained was 0.95 using the Cronbach’s alpha method. The results highlight that in these organizations, the following traits prevail: associativity, self-management and organization. However, autonomy and solidarity have a negative valuation, which shows that strategies must be rethought to achieve the empowerment of the financial service. This will allow them to be sustainable and to expand with more benefits that promulgate financial activity and promote structures in rural community networks that promote local development and strengthen deficient principles as a basis for generating a greater benefit to the partners.

“…8 This recognition can help us tp understand the reasons why agricultural cooperative has been seen as synonymous of failure in many countries, as pointed by Planas and Valls-Junyent (2011), and on other hand has achieved competitive levels (equal and/or higher economic results than perceived in the Investors Owned Firms -IOF) as mentioned by Battilani and Zamagni (2012). Asserting that the institutional pressures are strategically interpreted by organizations actors is not likely to be considered a myth because they have been minimally observed empirically.…”

Abstract:The competitive agribusiness environment has been pressing organizational actors of dairy cooperatives to implement new structures. In this sense, many scholars advocate the existence of isomorphic practices that are not suitable for cooperative enterprises. This theoretical paper assumes that there are strategic actions related to the institutional demands, implemented by cooperative decision makers in relation to environmental pressures. Thus, we aimed to analyze how can be structured such strategic actions in relation to the institutional pressures of two organizational subfields related to cooperative business, in order to maintain the legitimacy of the business. For this, we drafted the projection of five analytical frameworks. As conclusions, it is inferred that a cooperative business restructuring not always tends to express an atomism of decision makers in relation to institutional demands of the organizational field, given that the demands are ambivalent and need to be met in order to obtain minimum level of legitimacy necessary for the organization survival.Key-words: cooperativism, institutional ambivalence, strategy action. Resumo: O ambiente competitivo do agronegócio tem pressionado os atores organizacionais das cooperativas lácteas para implementar novas estruturações. Nesse sentido, diversos pesquisadores têm percebido a existência de práticas isomórficas que não são adequadas para empreendimentos cooperativos. Este artigo teórico assume que existem ações estratégicas relacionadas as demandas institucionais implementadas pelos tomadores
