6. Meta-Organizations and the Transformations of Social Orders
Chapter of: A Society of Meta-Organizations(pp. 93–104)
In this chapter, I am synthesizing the key contributions of the book and suggesting three areas of research for future work on meta-organizations, although there are many more: 1) the manifestations and consequences of meta-organizational proliferation, and especially of organizational monsters; 2) the roles of meta-organizations in sustainability transformation in territories; and 3) the use of counter-hegemonic meta-organizing for enacting or strengthening alternative worldviews and world making.
