CONSTITUCIONAL TREATMENT OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES IN THE BRAZILIAN LAW

Abstract

The Cooperative Societies as is the large transnational corporations are globalized. Globalization Cooperative, however, drives into diametrically opposite movement to the Hegemonic Globalization, Capitalist. It can be said that, while the Capitalist Globalization expands, so does the inequalities generated by the system. States, accordingly, seek to encourage correction mechanisms such inequalities, such as the Cooperative Societies, through incentive policies. International organizations (UN, ILO) advocate the encouragement of Cooperatives as a way of economic and social development, however avoiding state interference in cooperatives. The challenge of national legislation in this sense moves through the encouragement
of Cooperatives, keeping it in its essence of freedom and non-intervention. The Brazilian law, there is the constitutional recognition of Cooperatives and, from the 1988 Constitution, the end of state intervention in cooperatives.
