“…From the perspective of social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility, inclusive business model, and corporate social innovation are business models widely discussed in social innovation (Portales 2019 ), while cooperative is widely discussed in developing countries (Rajasekhar et al 2020 ). Cooperative is an active community participatory movement in groups of individuals to seek alternative solutions to peaceful political, social, and economic conflicts and socio-economic.…”

The concept of social innovation is increasingly being discussed to pursue sustainable development. New terms and keywords are created to cope with new ideas in various contexts. How these terms are developed in the current structure of knowledge and how we can reinterpret the semantic networks with the empirical context are the primary motivation of this paper. The rural social innovation knowledge structure is constructed to understand the phenomena better and cope with future needs. A multi-methods methodology is applied to construct the knowledge structure with the primary method being topic modeling. The results from topic modeling, co-word analysis, and co-citation are combined to co-construct the knowledge structure. The narratives for the built knowledge structure are then developed in the context of rural social innovation to enhance our understanding. This study found three findings. First, the trend of keywords “community”, “governance”, and “rural” have increased significantly in the field of social innovation. Second, an investigation of the intensity of the topics found six dominant groups of topics, namely actor, business model, natural resources, food security, governance, and urban. Third, the co-word analysis shows that the word innovation is closely related to the terms: sustainable development, social entrepreneurship, social enterprise, rural community, electronic commerce, co-design, and social behavior. The mapping of key terms shows that the structure of the global social innovation research landscape is quite complex. However, it can be broken down into five main parts: objectives, inputs, transformations, outputs, and outcomes.

“…They are outcomes of peoples’ efforts: first recognising the common nature of the problems and then deciding to work collectively to solve them. ‘The collective thinking and democratic decision-making process in cooperatives enable members to participate voluntarily in the problem identification, generation of idea, piloting the idea and eventual problem-solving’ (Rajasekhar et al, 2020, p. 5). These collective and democratic efforts provide meaningful ways ‘to overcome the heavy historic burden of the market, its irrationality, and the subjective conditions it generates and reproduces’ (Gambina & Roffinelli, 2013, p. 52).…”

This paper deals with the capitalocentrism of political economy discourses and diverse forms of collective economic practices in indigenous communities as bulwark against the hegemony that capitalocentrism creates. It refers to some important cooperative experiments across the world and examines in detail the collective customary practices of the Rabhas, an indigenous community of Assam. Being a community that historically revolved around the collective, much of its politico-economic autonomy and customary practices were interrupted by colonial occupation. The community struggles to keep many of its customary community practices alive and, in the process, has creatively adapted them into many modern institutions.
