What are the political aspects of Curriculum Integration?

Curriculum Integration has been one of the most complex theories for me, as an educationalist, to understand. Integrating the curriculum seems to entail multiple aspects of the educational context (e.g., historical, philosophical, economics, etc.) Understanding how these aspects interact to each other is of key importance to achieve a truly integrated curriculum. One of these interactions has caught my attention: the conflicts between curriculum integration and power relationships. I would like to comprehend what are the political aspects of curriculum integration, Especially in those highly hierarchical disciplines such as medical education.
