5. Meta-Organizations as Spaces for (Counter)-Hegemonic Dynamics
Abstract
There is a dark side of meta-organizations, as they may create and maintain unfair global social orders while escaping responsibility. In this chapter, I start from imperatives and paradoxes of social orders and meta-organizations. I then show how meta-organizations and macro-organizations may produce and maintain unfair social orders, creating organizational monsters and developing hegemonic strategies. Lastly, I explore some conditions under which meta-organizations can on the contrary constitute spaces of counter-hegemonic collaborations.
