论合作社民主管理的经济基础——基于两个农民合作社的调查思考

A Study on the Economic Foundation of the Democratic Management in Cooperatives——Based on the Investigation of Two Farmer Specialized Cooperatives

民主管理是合作社的基本组织原则和制度。但从我国农民合作社发展的现实情况看,民主管理却往往难以真正实行。理论分析和案例研究表明:合作社的民主管理与生产要素投入情况是相适配的,民主管理的经济基础是生产要素投入分散。合作社限制单个成员的生产要素投入比例是非常必要的。合作社法的修改应该限定单个成员的生产要素投入,以防止少数成员或个别成员操控合作社的生产经营,这样才能实现民主管理。

Democratic management is the basic organization principle and system of cooperatives. However, it is not well implemented in current China. Theoretical analysis and case study shows tha tthe level of democratic management in cooperatives is closely related to the dispersion of the inputs of productive factors. The more dispersion of the inputs of productivefactors, the higher level of democratic management in the cooperatives. Therefore, it is very necessary to limit the proportion of individual members＇ input. In order to realize the democratic management of cooperatives, the cooperative law should be amended to limit the individual members＇ input of productive factors so as to prevent minority and even individual members from manipulating the production and management of cooperatives.
