“…For example, producer cooperatives have enabled farmers to gain a superior price for their produce, by eliminating the middlemen from the process (Tucker, 1983), while the credit union movement enabled thousands of families' to gain access to affordable credit (Quinn, 1999). Furthermore, since the 1890s social enterprises, particularly co-operatives, have transformed rural economies (Doyle, 2019). In Italy, Spain and the Canadian province of Quebec, co-operatives have made an enormous contribution to the development of vibrant endogenous economies, both rural and urban.…”

“…In addition, the definition of social enterprise, contained in Ireland's social enterprise policy, should be broadened to include co-operatives 15 . Failure to do this will be a missed opportunity for supporting the social enterprise contribution to the development of vibrant sustainable economies (Doyle, 2019). Furthermore, national and international, academic, peer-reviewed research presents strong evidence of the effectiveness of social enterprises at addressing societal issues, such as fossil fuel dependence.…”

“…Their development has been an integral part of Ireland's modern social and economic history. The co-operative movement has a long and established presence (Doyle, 2019) and has contributed to the wellbeing and economic growth of rural Ireland while the Raiffiessen Banks (Colvin and McLaughlin, 2014), and the more recently established credit unions, have played a vital role in meeting socio-economic needs over the years (Power et al, 2012). In Ireland, these collective enterprises, whatever their legal status or form, are recognized as economic actors alongside the private and public sectors.…”

The National Social Enterprise Policy of Ireland was launched in 2019 following a slow and episodic process. The aim of the paper is to examine the development and implementation of the National Social Enterprise Policy. In particular the interaction between key sectoral stakeholders in the development of the policy and the primary influences on the process. The results of a substantial qualitative enquiry details the complex set of relationships underpinning the development of social enterprise policy in a multi-level governance framework. It situates the National Social Enterprise Policy in an environment unusually susceptible to sub-sectoral advocacy and highlights the particular characteristics of the Irish case where social enterprise policy is largely removed from broader social economy policy interventions in Ireland and the European Union. The paper highlights the complex and fluid environment in which various stakeholders articulated and advocated for their policy positions. It also details how the relevant policy institutions engaged with and were influenced by stakeholders. It contributes to the understanding of social enterprise policy formulation and how this process can become more inclusive.

“…The contribution of Craig to Irish history -both through his involvement in Ralahine, but also through his contribution to social thought in later years -meant that traces of Owenite ideology haunted Irish politics, albeit it was an Owenism with Craig's inflection. Tracing the history of Ralahine's afterlife in the late-nineteenth century debates on land complicates an understanding of the emergence of co-operation as an organising principle for the Irish dairy industry that emerged in the 1890s under the leadership of Horace Plunkett and George Russell (Doyle, 2019). Rather than see Irish co-operation as a phenomenon that responded to Irish farmers' need to compete with international rivals such as Denmark's co-operative farmers, the memory of Ralahine points to an influential resource of co-operative knowledge that shaped political imaginaries and inspired alternative visions of land ownership.…”

In 1823 Robert Owen arrived in Dublin to give a series of lectures setting out how a ‘New View of Society’ might be made manifest in Ireland. At the heart of Owen’s vision was the establishment of a series of co-operative, self-sustaining communities that would at once take people out of poverty while shaping their moral character. Owen’s visit would have been unremarkable if not for the fact that ten years later, a landlord called John Vandeleur reorganised his estate into a co-operative colony: Ralahine co-operative society, an Owenite commune where tenant farmers effectively become co‑partners in the estate’s management. Even though two years later the society collapsed, the legacy and memory of Ralahine exerted a hold over the imaginations of an assortment of land reformers, nationalists, and co-operators in Ireland. This article shows how a failed experiment in co-operative community building created an influential resource of co-operative knowledge that shaped political imaginaries and inspired alternative visions of property ownership in response to crises occurring in the second half of the nineteenth century. In particular, the work of Owenites involved in Ralahine, such as Craig and William Pare, is examined to locate the enduring historical relevance of the Irish Owenite commune.

“…For over a century Scottish peoples expressed nationalism in the regional press in their struggle for independence from England. 7 Meanwhile, Doyle 8 found that newspapers were a propaganda tool in forming the modern nation-state during the independence movement in Ireland.…”

Background: Newspapers played an important role in fostering a sense of nationalism, instilling the concept of "nation", fostering a sense of belonging, and maintaining the unity that the colonized people desperately needed to achieve independence. This study aims to investigate the involvement of indigenous newspapers in the struggle for Indonesian independence in North Sumatra during the Dutch colonial period, as well as to highlight how the contents of the newspaper's coverage were narrated in the struggle for Indonesian independence. Methods: This study used a qualitative content analysis (QCA) method. Research analysis includes manifest analysis (shown on the surface of the text) and latent analysis (hidden in the text) on the title, topic and sentence of each article. The validity test was carried out by peer-reviewing coding books and coding forms. Reliability test in the form of Intercoder reliability using NVivo 12 interrater reliability. Results: The results of the study found 107 articles in 13 indigenous newspapers in North Sumatra that supported the struggle for Indonesian independence from Dutch colonialism. There are 7 forms of narrative of the struggle for Indonesian independence in indigenous newspapers in North Sumatra from 1916-1925. The seven narratives are found in the title, topic, and sentences written in the article. National movements were the most narratives found with 36.73% found in titles (N= 49), 26.09% in topics (N=89), and 23.72% in sentences in the text (N=156). The fewest narrations were criticisms and demands to the Netherlands of 2.04% for title analysis. The next least narrative is patriotism with a score of 5.43% for topic analysis and 6.41% for sentences in the text. Conclusion: The role of newspapers in the struggle for independence in North Sumatra is evidenced by the findings of 107 articles in 13 newspapers in seven forms of struggle narratives.
