Abstract
Este artículo analiza, desde una perspectiva teórica, la relación entre capital social y cooperativas atendiendo a un doble enfoque. Por un lado, se aborda la capacidad de las cooperativas para crear capital social y extenderlo en sus entornos locales. En este sentido, se identifican diversas características organizativas de las cooperativas que pueden promover la generación interna de capital social, así como algunos mecanismos clave que intermedian en la difusión del capital social a nivel comunitario. Por otro lado, se aborda la influencia del capital social regional en el emprendimiento cooperativo. En este ámbito, se analiza cómo diversos factores relacionados con el capital social pueden promover la creación de cooperativas en una determinada región. Así mismo, a partir de una extensa revisión de la literatura sobre capital social, emprendimiento y organizaciones cooperativas, se propone una agenda para la investigación futura en la que se destacan algunas limitaciones fundamentales de la literatura previa y se plantean propuestas para avanzar en nuestra comprensión sobre la relación bidireccional entre capital social y cooperativas. El artículo discute también las implicaciones prácticas de los resultados obtenidos y sus consecuencias para importantes líneas de debate en la literatura académica actual.
This article examines, from a theoretical perspective, the relationship between social capital and cooperatives under a twofold approach. On the one hand, it addresses the ability of cooperatives to create social capital and disseminate it in their broader local environments. In this vein, we identify several organizational characteristics of cooperatives that can promote the generation of internal social capital, as well as some key mechanisms that intervene in the diffusion of social capital at the community level. On the other hand, the influence of regional social capital on cooperative entrepreneurship is addressed. In this area, we analyse how various factors related to social capital can promote the creation of cooperatives in a given region. Moreover, drawing on an extensive literature review about social capital, entrepreneurship and cooperatives, an agenda for further research is proposed, which highlights some key limitations of the previous literature and proposes some avenues to advance knowledge of the bidirectional relationship between social capital and cooperatives. The article also discusses the practical implications of our findings and their consequences for important strands of inquiry in the current academic literature.
