This book presents a critique of dominant governance theories
grounded in an understanding of existence as a static, discrete,
mechanistic process, while also identifying the failures of
theories that assume dynamic alternatives of either a radically
collectivist or individualist nature. Relationships between
ontology and governance practices are established, drawing upon a
wide range of social, political, and administrative theory.
Employing the ideal-type method and dialectical analysis to
establish meanings, the authors develop a typology of four dominant
approaches to governance. The authors then provide a systematic
analysis of each governance approach, thoroughly unpacking and
critiquing each one and exploring the relationships and movements
among them that engender reform and revolution as well as
retrenchment and obfuscation of power dynamics. After demonstrating
that each governance approach has fatal flaws within a diverse
global context, the authors propose an alternative they call
Integrative Governance. As a synthesis of the ideal-types,
Integrative Governance is neither individualist nor collectivist,
while still maintaining the dynamic character required to
accommodate responsiveness to cultural contexts.
