Self-management practices and cooperatives: A comparative analysis through Spain, Slovenia and Türkiye

In many countries, the working class and rural small producers were most affected by the liberal policies that have been expanded and implemented since the 1980s. On the one hand, there is capital that becomes stronger and on the other hand, there is labor that becomes cheaper by losing its bargaining power against the employer. In the face of all these policies, new social movements and "new cooperatives" movements within these movements have begun to expand for workers who are forced to work under the despotic labor regime and impoverished urban/rural households. In this context, the comparative evaluation of these new cooperative movements and self-management experiences in Spain, Slovenia and Turkey, the evaluation of a cooperative model suitable for Turkey in the light of the obtained factual data, and the discussion of a cooperative model suitable for Turkey in the light of the obtained factual data have been put forward.
