abstract note	It is through interchange that individuals and communities are able to define their identities and their long-term goals. In this sense, human life has a "fundamentally dialogical character." New models of social transformation will emerge only from a change in consciousness about who we are, how we regard others who enter our ambit - no matter how near or distant - and how we collectively design the structures and processes of social life, whether local or global. Giving full considereation to the multiple dimenstions of human experience in public discourse gives rise to new social meanings and expands policy dialogues beyond narrow conceptual boundaries.
