'The significant strength of this edited volume is that it goes beyond normative approaches to collaborative governance in a cross-disciplinary effort to analyze ''how to do collaboration'' and how to overcome the challenges involved in using collaboration in environmental governance.'
--Eva Sorensen, Roskilde University, Denmark'This book will be invaluable for anyone interested in collaborative planning, management or governance. It includes significant chapters from some of the leading scholars in these fields, as well as insightful research from a new generation. It is an impressive compendium, a good read, and a useful coursebook.'
