<p>The studies that focused on the topic of first-degree agricultural cooperative movement in the Province of Chaco, did it from different perspectives (historical-institutional, economic, geographic, sociological, etc.), with different objectives and sources. Nevertheless, what all these works had in common was that their analysis took into consideration the political and institutional evolution of the Nation-State. Methodologically, this strategy succeeded in considering the first-degree cooperative societies. However, such strategy did not show the internal dynamics of the institutions, nor their evolution in relation to other factors that shaped their evolution.<br />The objective of this paper is to generate a study proposal that begins with the cooperative institutions themselves, based on institutional analysis, which might work as a model for future approaches to this theme.</p>
