ABSTRACT

This study attempted to get implications by analyzing the cooperation experiences of rapidly growing social economy organizations in the recent Korean civil society landscape, with a sense of the need for new way of cooperation suitable for the changing situation and the times. To this end, after reviewing new theoretical resources for cooperation, the experience of cooperation over the past nine years of the Gwangjin social economy network, which is being introduced as one of the best practices of cooperation and solidarity, was analyzed in depth. As a result of the study, Gwangjin social economy network was operating joint projects between member companies and various cooperative devices to promote them. Specifically, mutual transactions, various conference systems, common assets(‘commons’), and facilitators/supporters of cooperation allowed cooperation between member companies to continue, and based on this, joint projects by category of business were being promoted. In addition, the logic of regard, duty, and exchange complemented each other and promoted the activation of cooperative devices. Above all, the difference in this study is how the logic of regard in cooperation works in the actual field.
