Abstract
The Latin American cooperative law started with the provisions set forth in the commercial codes of Argentina and Mexico, both enacted in 1889, even though they were insufficient and at times inadequate codes. In the period that elapsed between the world wars, specific laws were sanctioned in several countries (Chile, 1925; Argentina, 1926; Colombia, 1931; Ecuador, 1937; Mexico, 1938) that led to the growing development of the cooperative movement and laid the foundations of the subsequent cooperative law. As of World War II, and particularly during the 1950s, cooperative laws were sanctioned in different countries with the technical assistance of the Cooperative Section of the Organization of American States (OAS). In the following decades, there was a significant innovative movement that led the way to the modernization of cooperative laws and the consolidation of cooperative law in the region.
