Abstract Will DAVIES

Will DAVIES (Institute for Science Innovation & Society, University of Oxford): « The Rebirth of Mutualism in Britain? ».

Since the collapse of much of Britain's banking system in the autumn of 2008, there have been widespread calls to rethink core assumptions about governance and regulation in the financial sector. However, these have also extended further, to challenge the shareholder value ideology in the private sector, but also centralisation of governance in the public sector. Mutualism - the ownership and control of organisations by their designated users, employees or 'members' - has risen to prominence in mainstream policy debates, as a potential alternative to both orthodox public and private governance systems. This paper addresses how and why this has happened, what the potential benefits of mutualism could be (both social and economic) but also what the remaining obstacles are to altering the dominant models of ownership in the British context.
