| Texte | Abstract: This special issue of IJCM is devoted to current research on co-operative housing. There is a renewed political and academic interest in co-operative organisations as alternative providers of affordable housing in recent years. Although the concept is widespread across the globe and has a long tradition, co-operative housing practice is little-known and is just being rediscovered as an innovative alternative to property rental as a means of coping with the increase in demand for affordable housing following the housing crisis in many countries. Recent changes in the policy environment for social housing, such as increasing deregulation and liberalisation, have created new opportunities for housing co-operatives but have also redefined their societal role and organisational identity as member-oriented housing providers. This calls for a reconceptualisation of the nature of governance in co-operative housing, similar to the work that has recently been done in governance research on social housing (Mullins et al. 2012) as well as in the research field of non-profit and civil society governance (Steen-Johnson et al. 2011). |
