The conclusion to the special section has three objectives: First, it argues that a focus on “practice” implicitly connects all the articles in the special section and thereby reinforces the core points of the analytical framework introduced by Fuchs and Glaab. Second, the paper summarizes the main messages of the articles by identifying three red threads that are dominant in all four contributions. These are the strong focus of all authors on ideational forces, an emphasis on the role of academics and the description of complexities of local-global interdependencies. Third, some common blind spots are identified that merit future research.
⺠“Practice” is important. ⺠Ideational and material forces are mixed. ⺠Academic communities are key.
