Au cours des trois dernières décennies, les coopératives ont découvert de nouveaux domaines d'activité, en particulier les services d'aide sociale et d'intérêt communautaire, et ont innové en matière de gouvernance, passant d'une structure monopartite à une structure à plusieurs parties prenantes. De plus en plus, elles ne servent pas un seul type de membre mais plusieurs, y compris les besoins des non-membres. Ces changements sont tous corrélés et doivent encore être bien compris. Comme cela s'est produit dans le passé, un dialogue entre chercheurs et praticiens est important pour accompagner cette évolution.

ABSTRACT*: The paper presents and analyses the birth and evolution of social cooperatives for work integration in Italy. Born spontaneously in response to the failure of policies for the employment of disadvantaged workers, this particular entrepreneurial form was recognized and regulated in 1991 by enactment of a special law. The paper sets out the main results of recent research studies, results which enable quantification of the phenomenon and illustration of its principal features, as well as providing preliminary information on the effectiveness of this type of cooperative in the integration of disadvantaged workers into the internal or open labour market and on the variables that influence their results. The paper therefore highlights both the advantages and the drawbacks of these initiatives. Overcoming these drawbacks seems to be conditional on recognition of social cooperatives for work integration as instruments of employment policy.
