AB  - The last economic and financial crisis (2007) demonstrated to the so-called developed
countries the environmental, social and economic impossibility of continuing to pursue a
development model based on infinite growth. Under the idea that the North too can suffer from
its own mantras of continuous material progress, the present dissertation analyses how degrowth
cooperatives are an alternative to the conventional development paradigm, through a case study
of the Cooperativa Integral Minga, a Portuguese multisectoral cooperative located in Montemoro-Novo. Following the critique of Post-Development and, consequently, of the Degrowth theory,
the aim is to understand how this experience works in Portugal from appropriation tools such as
the restoration of democracy, economic relocation and the voluntary change of behaviours and
values. This will be done through a qualitative analysis using semi-structured interviews, nonparticipant observation and secondary and documentary data.
