Abstract:

This article critiques Beck’s (2003) assertion that the current integration enterprise is “out of balance.” Five concerns with Beck’s charge are identified. First, Beck does not support his claim that balance was the initial goal of the integration enterprise. Second, a clear definition of balance is not given. Third, without clear definitions, the charge of being unbalanced becomes very subjective. Fourth, views not favored by Beck are treated superficially and finally, Beck commits some of the same errors that he warns others about.
