"This Special Issue of the Review of International Co-operation, focused on “Bridging Divides: Promoting Economic, Social, and Cultural Democracy,” seeks to bring members of the global cooperative movement together to stimulate and facilitate the discussion on the strength of our diversity. As a movement we must be self-reflective and critical ensuring that marginalized and racialized populations (specifically Black and Indigenous communities and people of colour) are meaningfully engaged in all aspects of co-operative development. We reflect here upon democratizing and decolonizing efforts to bridge divides with cooperative enterprises across national and other differences. This collection of papers demonstrates the potential of enterprise founded on co-operative values and principles so long as we remain vigilant about colonial and neo-colonial incursions. Authors draw on historical and current examples in underlining ongoing opportunities as well as continuing barriers that face the cooperative movement." - Introduction to Special Issue
