This session examines how cooperatives and public initiatives navigate technological and social disruption. Jeongone (Joh) Seo analyzes the failure of South Korea’s public ride-hailing platform, revealing lessons on governance, accountability, and state–market dynamics. Stefan Ivanoski explores technology cooperatives as resilient, community-driven responses to digital transformation. Burak Karabey discusses the Mathematics Education Cooperative and its innovative approach to collaborative teaching and learning in times of systemic change. Together, they offer diverse perspectives on how cooperative models can adapt to disruption while preserving public value and democratic control.
