Presupuestos teóricos para la regulación jurídica de las cooperativas de consumo en Cuba

The updating process of the Cuban social and economic model has given rise to the expansion of cooperatives. However, the legislation regulating this process does not envisage consumer cooperatives, even if the difficulties regarding essential commodity consumption among people seem evident. Therefore, this paper aims to lay down the theoretical assumptions that should underpin the legal regulations of cooperatives in Cuba so that consumer cooperatives can be conceived as a means to meet the needs of their members and the community at large. To this end, an approach to the definition of consumer cooperatives is developed. Then, the current legal limitations for the implementation of this type of cooperatives in Cuba are analysed to finally discuss the theoretical and legal assumptions in this regard.
