Cooperation as a Form of Integration of Economic Circles (Legal Point of View)

Summary/Abstract: The idea of the article is realisation of a cognitive goal which consists in examining whether there are legal solutions favouring the integration of economic circles by cooperation in the Cooperative Act of September 16, 1982 (consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2018 item 1285 with later amendments), and a practical goal aiming at formulating postulates for the lawmaker referring to cooperation. The research hypothesis of the article ascertains that the above-mentioned act contains legal solutions favouring the integration of economic circles by cooperation, though these solutions have legislative gaps. The applied research method is a dogmatic method. Realised examination allows to ascertain that cooperation is the legal form integrating economic circles. Realisation of the cognitive goal brought definite conclusions. First of all, separate categories of cooperatives help in the integration of various economic circles. Moreover, organisation of bodies of cooperative favours integration of their members. What is more, the element which integrates economic circles is the activity of cooperative associations and cooperative self-government. Whereas, realisation of the practical goal allowed to formulate postulates referring to legislative policy in the field of cooperation. First of all, one should create more categories of cooperatives in order to integrate additional economic circles. Moreover, one ought to modify the functioning of cooperative’s bodies in such a way as to take into consideration the interest of all the cooperative’s members in resolutions. Realisation of the goals confirmed the research hypothesis.
