ABSTRACT

Chapter 14 ends the book with an affirmation of Integrative Governance, arguing that an effective response to the crises noted in Part I require this paradigm shift. The chapter explains the need for translational integration and how it might be approached. Based on this potential for conceptual integration, the authors make a call to scholars to embrace, affirm, and profess Integrative Governance within social, political, and economic institutions as they interact globally. The chapter and book closes with an invitation to scholars to engage in prefigurative praxis through theoretically informed action research: a call to participate in the difficult work of paradigmatic change.
