Encyclopedia > Integrating

Integration may be any of the following:

  • Usually integration is the construction of an object, a theory, etc. from separate more limited parts. The result is something composite or integral.
  • A similar notion also in international politics, is the absorption of a smaller entity by a larger or more powerful one (e.g. the integration of Tibet into China).
  • In sociology, "social integration" can refer to a person's level of attachment to a social group. (See Emile Durkheim).
  • Computer systems integration.
  • A rather arcane concept in securities law, where multiple offerings are "integrated" into a single offering.
