Abstract: "This paper moves towards collaboration, by presenting simplified summaries of work being done within each research program and suggesting points in each that may contribute to synergistic progress. The first section lays out in skeletal fashion the central concerns, assumptions, and results of the two programs, arguing that the development of each has been constrained by the need to respond to dominant paradigms. The second section examines the ability of each program to explain variation in outcomes, considering answers to questions about observed instances of failure and success of cooperative efforts. The third section then turns to points of divergence between the two programs. Although they focus on similar problems, important differences in substance suggest a need for caution in directly transporting the results of one research program into the other."
