Quand un groupe coopératif s’engage au service du territoire : une étude de cas en Argentine

The territory plays an essential role in the organizational field, providing a space for the articulation of different interests and relationships between social, economic, and political actors. In this respect, social economy organizations, especially cooperatives, stand out in Argentina for their importance both in providing goods and services and in generating social links in the territories. From this perspective, the article aims to analyse the contribution of the Grupo cooperativo mutual Devoto (GD) to a sustainable economic and social transition. The group is analysed as an original initiative within the framework of a series of processes that value geographical and organizational proximity, as well as the role of the actors involved in the local context.
