          Abstract

          El presente artículo tiene por finalidad presentar una reflexión acerca de la actividad del sector cooperativo y su contribución en el desarrollo local. Para la realización del estudio se utilizó un modelo de investigación cualitativo, basado en la técnica de revisión documental. Los resultados evidencian que las cooperativas son agentes de desarrollo local, porque surgen en los espacios locales y son creadas por personas de la comunidad para lograr su bienestar; así como también, promueven que sus socios participen en los tres flujos empresariales y tienden a integrarse en redes. Se concluye que para que dichas organizaciones contribuyan realmente a fortalecer el desarrollo local, es necesario que participen de manera activa en los procesos de transformación de las localidades en las cuales están inmersas, a través de la realización de actividades en las que se aprovechen las potencialidades de su entorno y se genere progreso y bienestar social.

          Translated abstract

          The purpose of this article is to present a reflection about cooperative sector activity and its contribution to local development. A qualitative research model was used, based on the documentary review technique. Results show that cooperatives are local development agents because they arise in local spaces and are created by people from the community to achieve their well-being. Additionally, they promote their partners’ participation in three managerial flows and tend to integrate in networks. Conclusions are that for these organizations to really contribute to strengthening local development, they should participate actively in transformation processes in the localities where they are found by carrying out activities that take advantage of potentials in their environment and generate progress and social well-being.
