The book explores the historical development, legal framework and the peak organisations of co-operatives in the two countries. Specific comparative chapters focus on consumer, credit, and worker-producer co-operatives. The book deepens the analysis of co-operatives by containing chapters that examine specific theoretical and empirical issues such as the theory of co-operative firms as collective entrepreneurial action. Monographic chapters include more in depth analysis of specific typologies of co-operatives, such as social and community oriented co-operatives, some of which were created to contrast organized crime in Southern Italy. The book concludes with an assessment of the implications of the project for public policy. 410 0$aStrumenti per la didattica e la ricerca ;$v172. 606 $aBusiness enterprises$zItaly 615 0$aBusiness enterprises 676 $a338.740945 702 $aJensen$b Anthony 702 $aPatmore$b Greg 702 $aTortia$b Ermanno 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910229863603321 996 $aCooperative enterprises in Australia and Italy$92787873 997 $aUNINA
