Integralism is a belief that society is an organic unity. It has a characteristic belief in social hierarchy and in co-operation between the social classes and transending the conflict between economic groups. It usually advocates corporatism as the form of economics in an "organic society". Often seen as a belief in blood and soil conservatism, Integralism claims that the best political institutions for given nations will differ depending on the history, culture and climate of the nation's habitat. Integralism usually strongly supports a national church, or Erastianism (Gallicanism in French context). The movement is particularly associated with the French Action Française movement founded by Charles Maurras.
Integralism often overlaps with fascism (especially in Latin America), although there exist many natural points of disagreement, especially the integralist stress on localism.
