Opis

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. The authors develop a typology of four dominant approaches to governance, providing a systematic analysis of each. The book then goes on to develop an alternative governance approach, an approach that is neither individualist nor collectivist, while still maintaining the dynamic character required for cultural processes that accommodate integrative change.
