Abstract Interorganizational cooperative relations: a trust analysis The study on cooperation networks has been growing and it is due to the emergence of new competition, the emergence of information and communication technologies, and the insertion of network analysis as an academic discipline. In this way, interorganizational networks represent a particular form of organization and are characterized by relations of exchange between partners, where cooperation is a fundamental process and trust is essential. Thus, this article had as main objective to identify the interorganizational cooperative relations between the Cooperativa Agropecuaria de Esteios Ltda (COOESTEIOS) and its main partners, verifying the influence of the trust in the process of development of these relationships. Through semi-structured interviews, documentation analysis regarding the process of conception and support of these relationships and spontaneous observation, it was possible to point out that, in this relationship, trust between the actors is strong and their relationships are purely social, based on the characteristics and ethnicity of the partners, where social capital and coexistence and cooperation relationships strengthen the partnership, without the need for any kind of formal agreement.
