Foreign Studies

The study conducted by Maskur (2015) emphasizes the role of the government
in developing cooperatives. The role should focus on empowering cooperatives by
meeting cooperative development with the cooperative values and principles. The
study focused on the appropriateness of local government action in developing
primary cooperatives with cooperative values and principles. It relied heavily on
descriptive research method. The result showed that strategy of local government -
especially Malang District local government - focused on strengthening individual
member businesses and cooperative's financial capacity that was not meet with
cooperative values and principles.

Based on the result of the study, Maskur (2015) concluded that the development
of primary cooperatives in Indonesia was conducted by dividing primary cooperatives
into some categories based on their independence, namely stabilization,
consolidation, and rehabilitation. In terms of institutional strengthening, human
resources development, and financial strengthening, the development of primary
cooperatives in Indonesia focused on developing individual businesses of
cooperative members and strengthening the financial capacity of cooperatives and
cooperative members. Also, the development focusing on the individual business of
cooperative members and financial support was not appropriate with cooperative
values. The development was not stimulating the independence of primary
cooperative. It made primary cooperative more dependent from outside party,
especially from the government. It would also deprave the solidity of the cooperative
members in managing primary cooperative. Cooperative is not individual oriented, but
community oriented. In addition, the local government action for developing primary
cooperatives more focused on providing financial support than giving education and
training. It was not appropriate with cooperative principle as well. Therefore,
government should be more responsive to their objects. It means that government
should have well understanding about the cooperatives problems before giving
treatment. The ignorance of their object condition and information will result to the
ineffectiveness of the development
