The climate emergency, cost of living crisis, and Covid-19 pandemic have highlighted the social and environmental impact of continuous orthodox economic growth. As a result, more attention has been paid to the ways in which communities attempt to build more sustainable and fair economies. Inspired by Principle 7, concern for community, this special issue investigates the role played by worker co-operatives in their local communities by exploring their core mission of putting both the direct membership and local communities before profit.
The editors welcome submissions ranging from full academic articles/research papers (7,000 words), as well as short articles (4,000 words), and short think pieces (approx. 1,000 words) from practitioners
