Cooperatives, and more particularly cooperative participative societies (Scop) and collective interest cooperative societies (Scic), are enjoying a revival of activity in the economic, political, and academic spheres. Research works have multiplied, in particular on governance and management, but these cooperatives’ link to the territory remains insufficiently documented. The originality of this article is to question the relations between cooperatives and territorial governance by asking the following question: Do production cooperatives (Scop and Scic) participate in territorial governance? Does the fact that these cooperatives have a participative internal dynamic and governance make them unique actors when it comes to territorial governance? Based on a qualitative methodology comparing two Scop and three Scic, we show that cooperatives, despite their singularities, remain on the margins of territorial governance for three reasons: the great heterogeneity of their relationships with the territory, the predominance of sector and network logics, and their still embryonic political work to gain recognition.
