AB - This paper explores the types and operational models of cooperatives in Northeast Asia. Particularly, this paper takes a comprehensive approach to understand their diverse legal forms. Both the english-oriented concepts such as ‘cooperative’, ‘association’, ‘partnership’, and ‘union’, and the indigenous ones such as hezuoshe in China, Kumiai in Japan, and Johab in South Korea are considered. In fact, an in-depth research of these indigenous terms and institutions will offer important and alternative perspectives for the further development of social economy in three countries. This paper first elaborates a basic concept of social economy and cooperative and the abovementioned indigenous terms and institutions. As a result, this paper points out that there are over 80 types of cooperative in the three countries. Secondly, the operational characteristic and development of these organizations are examined in-depth. Their operational models are eventually classified into four categories: domination by central organization, complex network, popular-based small enterprises, and local community formation. Finally, this paper summaries some implications of these models on the further development of social economy in the three countries.
