Building on recent research and insights from the diverse contributions gathered in this special issue, the analysis aims to identify key gender‐related challenges facing SE organizations, including the persistence of structural inequalities, the underrepresentation of women a…
Mondragon Cooperatives and the Utopian Legacy: Economic Democracy in Global Capitalism
Mondragon’s worker-owned-and-governed cooperatives are rooted in the socialist utopian tradition of envisioning alternative economic organizations designed to promote worker well-being, workplace democracy, and community embeddedness. For many years, they have challenged capitalist logic and hierarchical power structures while remaining economically viable and democratically governed, countering the predictions of degeneration theories. However, …
Classifying the degree of cooperative multinationality: Case study of a French multinational cooperative
In recent decades, the largest European worker cooperatives, and those that are the most emblematic in their countries, have been transformed into multinational companies. This article examines workers’‐cooperative multinationality by providing a classifying tool based on the interaction between control rights and return rights held by foreign employees in the subsidiaries of multinational cooperatives. We illustrate our matrix of cooperative mul…
Is there life after degeneration? The organizational life cycle of cooperatives under a ‘grow‐or‐die’ dichotomy
This article provides an in‐depth, longitudinal analysis combining real‐time and retrospective data on a set of Mondragon's industrial cooperatives that are organized as international groups. We examine the life cycle of these international cooperative groups, which is expected to evolve differently to that of small‐ and medium‐sized cooperatives that operate exclusively on a local scale. The article is theoretically informed by the cooperative l…
Multinational Expansion of Worker Cooperatives and Their Employment Practices: Markets, Institutions, and Politics in Mondragon
Drawing on qualitative research and longitudinal data on two Mondragon multinational cooperatives, the authors examine the multinational expansion of these co-ops and the diffusion of the cooperative model's employment practices to their subsidiaries in Brazil, China, Slovakia, France, and Poland. The results show that international expansion can radically transform the organizational architecture of co-ops and exacerbate dilemmas about how to pu…
Challenges and opportunities for the regeneration of multinational worker cooperatives: Lessons from the Mondragon Corporation—a case study of the Fagor Ederlan Group
Organisations with alternative structures have been forced to grow internationally in order to remain competitive in the current global context. Some of the industrial cooperatives that belong to the Mondragon Corporation have since the 1990s followed internationalisation strategies that have increased their competitiveness, the number of their employees and their ability to create wealth. However, these moves have also called into question the f…
The Viability of Cooperatives: The Fall of the Mondragon Cooperative Fagor
This article presents a case study of the rise and fall of the Mondragon cooperative Fagor Electrodomésticos (1959-2013). Fagor, after playing a key role in the creation of the Mondragon cooperative experience, had been transformed into a multinational corporation competing in the global home appliance market. Given Fagor's role as a leading cooperative, the general question of the viability of workers' cooperatives is also at stake in its failur…

This article examines the governance of the Mondragon Cooperative Corporation (MCC) within the context of the expanding globalisation process. After a brief introduction about globalisation and cooperative degeneration theories, the first part of the paper begins by giving a brief description of MCC and examining its current situation. In the second part, we analyse the governing structure of the nucleus of MCC, i.e., the MCC Congress, the Standi…
