The classical questioning of the articulation between «community» and «cooperatives» acquires a new relevance in the context of the ecosocial transition. Beyond the postulate of fit or alterity between both types of institutions, this article proposes a nuanced framework of analysis informed by field studies to reposition the issue on the social and solidarity economy research agenda. First, based on a selective literature review, some research avenues are proposed on the topicality of the community and cooperative debate in the context of current ecosocial transitions. Secondly, we propose a framework of analysis to understand the «community»-«cooperatives» relationship, which we will focus in the third section on the community-based tourism sector in rural and peasant areas in Mexico. The last section proposes to extend this analytical framework to other alternatives built in response to the challenges of the ecosocial transition.
