Course Description

Cooperatives are highly sophisticated organizations that enable a job that cannot be done alone to be done together, and that embodies both economic and social purposes at the same time. For this reason, the members of the cooperative should know their rights, duties and responsibilities well, and their managers and supervisors, those who want to establish a cooperative and those who take part in the resolution of disputes, should also know the rules of law to be applied in the cooperatives. In this way, the problems experienced in practice will be overcome more easily and hesitations will be eliminated.
