composants matériels du patrimoine coopératif, appartenance à la coopérative et rationalisation de l'emploi, changements dans la structure de production, coopération avec le milieu rural ; les transformations actuelles et le modèle à terme ; les itinéraires
de transformation. Les coopératives agricoles de Borowiec et de Sliwniki sont prises comme exemple.

Since 1990, Polish municipalities have exercised planning power in terms of deciding on the ways of their economic and spatial development. Results of dynamic and sometimes uncontrolled, spontaneous development processes cross the borders
of municipalities bringing problems, that can not be addressed, and solved by one municipality. Polish legislation provides legal basis for cooperation of municipalities. However, experience of the last several years proves that cooperation among municipalities
is not an easy task. It creates problems especially within functional urban areas. In this paper, the issue of cooperation among municipalities from the Warsaw Metropolitan Area (WMA) is addressed using the perspective of networking and formulation of common
Les AA. étudient dans quelle mesure les grandes organisations coopératives se comportent comme d'autres entreprises à localisations multiples lorsqu'elles se restructurent. Exemple de l'industrie agro-alimentaire du porc au Danemark sur une durée de
35 ans. La coordination du marché réalisée sous une propriété coopérative a pour résultat une restructuration qui préserve la position économique globale et les institutions fondamentales (mouvement coopératif et croyances associées).
International Cooperation represents one of the main pillar of European development policy. Neighbouring countries engaged in the development of cross-border regions undertake institutional engineering operations to set up the necessary procedures
to run Cooperation Programme. Hence, beside their spatial impact INTEREG programmes represent institution-building workshops for the articulation of management structures compatible with the different governance arrangements of involved Members States

La transformation des relations de propriété a modifié les rapports sociaux au sein de la coopérative et dans son environnement immédiat. On peut en observer les manifestions dans les changements de propriété des terres des communes rurales sur le
territoire de la coopérative ; dans le chengement de structure des exploitations agricoles de ces communes ; dans le changement du climat social au sein des entreprises agricoles qui sont devenues, selon l'esprit de la nouvelle législation, les successeurs
des anciennes coopératives agricoles. La commune et la coopérative agricole d'Ovcary (Bohême centrale) servent d'exemple.
