Community development as prefigurative, radically democratic global governance?

Community Development, 2019, vol. 50, issue 1, 16-33

Abstract: This article explores the networks, coalitions, and organizations of the farmer-to-farmer movement to illustrate a recently proposed ideal-type called Integrative Governance. Collaborating movement members include smallholder farmers, farmers unions and associations, government agricultural extension agents, and NGO staff and volunteers who play a variety of personal, professional, and movement roles. In the analysis, we provide a brief synopsis of each conceptual element of Integrative Governance and then illustrate them using evidence from a variety of secondary case studies and organizational documents. Despite the fact that we draw from case studies not designed to identify these concepts, we find that as an ideal-type, Integrative Governance provides a promising theoretical basis from which to conduct primary empirical case analysis to inform both theory building and practice toward radical community development.
