AB - The social economy has drawn attention as an alternative economic system since the economic globalization played a critical role in social changes. The social economy focusing on the reorganization of the market mechanism within the social values and communality emphasizes the voluntary participation of individuals in local communities with active civil societies. This paper purposes to explain the role of the grassroots governance as a mechanism of democracy within the grassroots social economy by examining the case of Wonju Cooperative Movement. As a result of the case study, it is found that in Wonju, community members have voluntarily constructed material bases of the coop as a social economy and expanded their business from the agriculture to the manufacturing and retail and to the medical and social welfare services. In this process, the cooperative movement network has played an important role in the grassroots social economic governance. The network activated local connections by consolidating material bases and developing labor forces as it played a deepening role. In addition, the network built the system of the partnership and solidarity beyond its own organizational networks as it played a stretching role. The case of Wonju is important in that it can be a meaningful alternative economic system on the basis of the grassroots governance.
