Abstract	The article contributes to the ongoing discussion on ways to deal with the diversity of theories in mathematics education research. It introduces and systematizes a collection of case studies using different strategies and methods for networking theoretical approaches which all frame (qualitative) empirical research. The term `networking strategies' is used to conceptualize those connecting strategies, which aim at reducing the number of unconnected theoretical approaches while respecting their specificity. The article starts with some clarifications on the character and role of theories in general, before proposing first steps towards a conceptual framework for networking strategies. Their application by different methods as well as their contribution to the development of theories in mathematics education are discussed with respect to the case studies in the ZDM-issue.
