Abstract

[eng] AGRICULTURAL COOPERATION: THE END OF A REGULATIONNIST INSTITUTIONAL FORM? . During the post-war boom years, the agricultural co-operation distinguished itself from the cooperatives of other sectors by developing into an institutional form of monopolistic competition serving small agricultural businesses. Indeed, the agricultural co-operation has all the characteristics of an institution (a social legitimacy defined by its mission to modernise and its capacity to direct its agents behaviour). This article provide an historical context for this institutional structure. In the economic arena following the three decades of post-war boom, the political strategies designed to shape economic operations became less central. Consequently, the co-operation would be called upon to continue as a legal organisation, but at the cost of losing its foothold as a sectorial institutional structure. [fre] Contrairement aux coopératives d'autres secteurs, la coopération agricole a su devenir durant les Trente Glorieuses, une forme institutionnelle de la concurrence monopolistique au service de la petite entreprise agricole. Elle détient en effet les attributs d'une institution (légitimité sociale définie par la mission de modernisation et capacité à orienter les comportements des agents). Cet article se propose de mettre en perspective historique cette forme institutionnelle: dans la configuration économique succédant aux Trente Glorieuses, les stratégies politiques destinées à modeler le fonctionnement économique deviennent moins centrales. De ce fait, la coopération serait appelée à perdurer comme organisation juridique, mais n'aurait plus lieu d'être comme forme institutionnelle structurant la dynamique sectorielle.
