The prerequisites for the emergence of cooperation as a form and mechanism for leveling antagonistic economic relations of the capitalist system are revealed, with characterizing the main theoretical lines inherent in the historical development of the theoretical basis of the cooperative idea, their legal reflection and implementation in practical activity in the context of the theoretical foundations of cooperatives, their place in economic self-defense and impact on the evolution of the social character of the peasantry, that are substantiated in the works of the outstanding Ukrainian economist and sociologist M. Tugan-Baranovsky. It has been proven that the differences in the motivation of the association of economic entities, the mechanism of economic and financial relations, which determine the non-capitalist character of cooperative entities, as the scientist emphasized, ensured cooperatives a higher survival rate under the challenges of the 20th century compared to other organizational and legal forms.
The results of scientific research into the impact of the globalization of economy and markets on the evolution of cooperative principles and the structure of cooperative entities are systematized, various approaches to the relationship between the logic of cooperative values and the logic of practicality, its enshrinement in cooperative legislation and impact on the development of the cooperative movement are analyzed. In this context, the reasons for the lack of dynamic development of agricultural cooperatives in Ukraine are identified, and ways to eliminate them are substantiated as an important factor in the formation of a farming-type economic activities, without which small and medium-sized Ukrainian farms, in the event of the country becoming a member of the EU, will not "fit" into the European single market and the Common Agricultural Policy. They will be pushed out of agricultural production with corresponding negative consequences for ensuring food security and food sovereignty of society, preservation of population distribution pattern and rural development, which is contrary to the Sustainable Development Goals.
