As one of the most successful farm organizations in the United States, the Missouri Farmers Association brought together farm clubs from all over the state to serve as the central body through which farmer-owned businesses could compete with investor-owned businesses. In Cultivating Cooperation, Raymond A. Young follows the fascinating history of MFA from its grass-roots beginning in a schoolhouse in 1914 through the upheaval that led to only the second leadership change in the organization's history in 1979. William Hirth was responsible for the early success of MFA. At the age of fifteen, Hirth became interested in farming and started lecturing on the benefits of building a cooperative of farm clubs. He continued to advocate this idea by publishing The Missouri Farmer, a magazine that informed subscribers on legislative issues and farm club news and later became MFA's house organ. Hirth believed that the farm clubs should capitalize not only on the economic advantages of joining together as a cooperative, but on the political and social advantages as well. Upon Hirth's death in 1940, Fred Heinkel took over leadership of MFA. Under his guidance, the cooperative grew at a feverish rate. Supply companies, such as oil refineries, feed mills, and seed plants, were acquired or built whenever it proved advantageous to the farmers. A sister cooperative was created to expand into neighboring states, and a national alliance was created to establish a stronger representation in Washington, D.C. MFA was also instrumental in securing a fourÞyear medical school in its hometown of Columbia in order to ensure medical care for farmers and their families in rural areas. In addition, MFA has played a role in helping Third World countries develop cooperatives of their own. With intimate knowledge of the organization, Raymond Young involves the reader in the intricacies of the formation and development of the Missouri Farmers Association, enlivening his account with liberal use of anecdotes from the pages of The Missouri Farmer. An introduction by Michael L. Cook places the story of MFA within the context of the history of the cooperative movement nationwide. Students and scholars of Missouri history, as well as farmers and those interested in agriculture, will find this comprehensive examination of MFA an invaluable resource.

Abstract: Cooperative enforcement, a regulatory enforcement strategy, has been shown to promote efficiency and effectiveness in regulatory environments. In order to achieve a state of cooperation with regulated firms, an agency must be able to signal its commitment to a mutually beneficial cooperative strategy. I argue that an effective way of signaling for cooperation with firms is through features of an agency's design: specifically the diversity of firms within an intrastate regulatory district. Data showing levels of noncompliance among individual regulated firms that was aggregated to the district level show that a high level of diversity in a district acts as an encouraging signal in favor of cooperation. The higher the diversity of firms within a regulatory district, the less likely a firm will fall into high-priority noncompliance.

The Internet has transformed the way we live and work - by unleashing the power of shared ideas, the power of instant communication, the power of cooperation while being separated by time and distance.If the old idea of an organisation as a static machine, run hierarchically and designed for predictability, ever worked - it doesn't work now. Now that the brakes are off, we see torrents flow: vast flows of data, information, and knowledge; flows of influence and innovation; flows of ideas and people... once you notice them, it's increasingly clear that "e;forms and flows"e; of ideas and information overwhelm the "e;structures and processes"e; we were once comfortable with.The force of shared ideas and information is clear: they shape how we organize ourselves. The challenge is to guide this force, to cultivate valuable flows, to nurture shared ideas into thriving organizations, to develop concepts and language to methodically approach this challenge.Countless business start-ups, hybrid organizations and even conventional companies are frantically learning how to work with flows - there is no guidebook. Which is why Jean Russell and Herman Wagter, both long active in this field, set out to interview business pioneers and founders, researchers, practitioners, investors and others with experience of how flows work and how to shape them.In Cultivating Flows (not 'Managing Flows'!) they pull together that experience, and their own, to explain how flows work and how best to work with them.They take us through key stages of development like Reframing, Navigating, Operationalizing and Iterating.They introduce us to key concepts like Emergent, Networked, Event-Driven (ENE) efforts; Social Technology, Social Protocols, and Social Organisms; Process Hierarchies; and CoherenceThey offer us a dozen, detailed Use-Cases of social flows in action.And behind it all they're building a unique resource of interviews, articles, case studies and experience in awebsitethat supports this book.For anyone seeking to start, join, reimagine, reshape, update, or "e;run"e; an organization or a movement in this exciting new world,Cultivating Flowsis a kind of gardener's manual, an indispensable resource and an inspiration.

Every day, teachers and parents face the toughest challenges: disrespect, lack of cooperation, resistance, negativity, hostility, and teen suicide. Conventional and time-honored practices may offer techniques for temporarily controlling the behaviors of children and teens, but they may also be the very thing that escalates problems in classrooms and homes. Cultivating Respect and Cooperation contains 21 steps that parent, teacher, tutors, coaches, and counselors can use to meet the needs of our modern classrooms and families. It is a systematic and cumulative approach that motivates children and teens to address problem behaviors and develop: 1) Respect and cooperation, 2) Executive functions and metacognition, such as self-monitoring, planning, logic, and organization, 3) Personal responsibility, self-discipline, motivation, and character, 4) Courage, confidence, resiliency, and trust, and 5) Authentic connections for mutual understanding. Each chapter includes metaphors and perspectives you can share to create paradigm shifts in children and teens. In turn, students gain increased awareness that leads to constructive insight, self-monitoring, and improvement of their executive functions. In the process you begin to re-pattern the way you and your children think, talk, and act. The author's goal is to empower parents and teachers to connect with children of all abilities as well as the joys of teaching and parenting.Laurie Hunter has worked with struggling kids and teens and their families for more than 13 years. She received her master's degree in education from The University of Texas at Austin and has been a private academic intervention tutor, a permanent substitute teacher, and PTA president for 6 years at her children's middle school. Laurie is a mother of dyslexic twin sons who graduated from Texas State University and a daughter with ADHD who is a senior in high school.

An ethnographic study of Indian democracy that shows how agrarian life creates values of citizenship and active engagement that are essential for the cultivation of democracy. Cultivating Democracy provides a compelling ethnographic analysis of the relationship between formal political institutions and everyday citizenship in rural India. Banerjee draws on deep engagement with the people and social life in two West Bengal villages from 1998-2013, during election campaigns and in the times between, to show how the micro-politics of their day-to-day life builds active engagement with the macro-politics of state and nation. Her sensitive analysis focuses on several "events" in the life of the villages shows how India's agrarian rural society helps create practices and conceptual space for these citizens to be effective participants in India's great democratic exercises. Specifically, she shows how the villagers' creative practices around their kinship, farming and religion, while navigating encounters with local communist cadres, constitute a vital and continuing cultivation of those republican virtues of cooperation, civility, solidarity and vigilance which the visionary Ambedkar considered essential for the success of Indian democracy. At a time when so much of that constitutional vision is under threat, this book provides a crucial scholarly rebuttal to all, on Right or Left, who dismiss rural citizens' political capacities and democratic values. This book will appeal to anyone interested in India's political culture and future, its rural society, or the continuing relevance of political anthropology.
