Abstract

The paper reviews main theoretical reasons explaining why cooperatives and cooperation in developing, rural and poor countries, have a comparative advantage in enlarging poor people's capabilities. In particular, we consider main pillars of the Capability Approach to human development with reference to the relation between groups and capabilities, and discuss why cooperative groups can support participatory human development, grassroots empowerment and human poverty alleviation.
