Cooperative Societies in Greenland and Nunavik: A Lesson on the Importance of Supporting. Structures
We present different types of cooperatives in Greenland and Nunavik, Canada, in order to assess two different developments. A first approach to comparisons leads to an anomaly suggesting the necessity of empirical analysis in the two regions. Why is it that Greenland never really managed to create a...
