Dominant governance theories are drawn primarily from Euro-American
sources, including emergent theories of network and collaborative
governance. The authors contest this narrow view and seek a more
globally inclusive and transdisciplinary perspective, arguing such
an approach is more fruitful in addressing the wicked problems of
sustainability-including social, economic, and environmental
crises. This book thus offers and affirms an innovative governance
approach that may hold more promise as a "universal" framework that
is not colonizing in nature due to its grounding in relational
process assumptions and practices. Using a comprehensive Governance
Typology that encompasses ontological assumptions, psychosocial
theory, epistemological concepts, belief systems, ethical concepts,
political theory, economic theory, and administrative theory, the
authors delve deeply into underlying philosophical commitments and
carry them into practice through an approach they call Integrative
Governance. The authors consider ways this approach to radical
self-governance is already being implemented in the prefigurative
politics of contemporary social movements, and they invite scholars
and activists to: imagine governance in contexts of social,
economic, and environmental interconnectedness; to use the
ideal-type as an evaluative tool against which to measure practice;
and to pursue paradigmatic change through collaborative praxis.
