Abstract

This chapter sketches the origins and development of cooperatives in Switzerland from 1800 to the present and explores to what extent the Swiss experience aligns with or departs from cooperatives in comparable countries. It concludes that both in its longer-term antecedents and in its trajectory throughout the past 200 years, cooperatives in Switzerland have displayed some unique dimensions, yet these are not as exceptional as many Swiss commentators and scholars purport.
