Following from Fish for Life Interactive Governance for Fisheries (Kooiman et al., 2005), which presents an interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach to the governance of capture and aquaculture fisheries, this volume pursues what interactive governance theory and the governability perspective contribute to the resolution of key fisheries problems, these include overfishing, unemployment and poverty, food insecurity, and social injustice. Since these problems are varied and can be felt among governments, resource users and communities globally, thediagnosis must be holistic, and take account of principles, institutions, and operational conditions. The authors argue that wicked problems and institutional limitations are inherent to each setting, and must be included in the analysis. The volume thereby offers a new lens and a systematic approach for analysing the nature of problems and challenges concerning the governance of fisheries, explores where these problems are situated, and how potential solutions may be found.""

" It now seems clear that the crisis in the world s fisheries is] a much larger and more complex problem than many had imagined. Yet, examining it through the lens of governability may offer the best hope for alleviating it--as well as alleviating similar crises in other social systems. "James R. McGoodwin (Professor Emeritus, University of Colorado)

Creative Governance - Opportunities for Fisheries in Europe (Paperback): Jan Kooiman, Martijn van Vliet, Svein Jentoft Creative Governance - Opportunities for Fisheries in Europe (Paperback)
Jan Kooiman, Martijn van Vliet, Svein Jentoft
R752 Discovery Miles 7 520 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Published in 1999, Creative Governance sets out to develop new ideas on the development of Fisheries in Europe. The scholarly and political attention for fisheries in general within Europe is predominantly focused on problems of controlling catch. In this book it is not the problems of harvesting which are taken as the starting point, but opportunities in fisheries as a whole: catch, processing, market and consumption of fish and fish products. The discussion is broadened to include the management of fisheries from the perspective of governance rather than management or policy. Governance is a new and important concept currently being developed in several areas of social science, in this book the governance concept is related to the creation of new opportunities of fisheries in Europe. The combination of these two approaches is not only important for fisheries (in Europe) but also to the governance of natural resources more generally where the shift from a problem to an opportunity and from a management or a governance approach might shed new light and stimulate new actions. The book is the product of close cooperation between scholars from biological, geographical, political science, management studies and anthropological backgrounds.

Governing as Governance (Hardcover): Jan Kooiman Governing as Governance (Hardcover)
Jan Kooiman
R4,728 Discovery Miles 47 280 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The concept of `governance' has become a central catchword across the social and political sciences. In Governing and Governance, Jan Kooiman revisits and develops his seminal work in the field to map and demonstrate the utility of a sociopolitical perspective to our understanding of contemporary forms of governing, governance and governability.

A central underlying theme of the book is the notion of governance as a process of interaction between different societal and political actors and the growing interdependencies between the two as modern societies become ever more complex, dynamic and diverse.

Drawing upon a wide range of interdisciplinary insights, the book advances a comprehensive conceptual framework that seeks to capture the different elements, modes and orders of governing and governance. A series of useful distinctions are employed, for example, between self, `co', and hierarchical modes, and between first, second, or meta orders to illustrate the many different structures and levels of modern governance today.

Theoretically rich and illuminating, Governing and Governance will be essential reading for all students and academics across the social and political sciences, public management and public administration.

Modern Governance - New Government-Society Interactions (Paperback): Jan Kooiman Modern Governance - New Government-Society Interactions (Paperback)
Jan Kooiman
R2,256 Discovery Miles 22 560 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This wide-ranging text provides an overview of major governance developments in contemporary society. It outlines and illuminates recent theories about the relationship of public and private sectors, and the interaction of politics and society. The most recent and prevailing governance development is shown as a shift in the balance between government and society--away from the public sector toward the private sector. Modern Governance explores how new balances have been struck between the state and the market. It also identifies the forms and patterns that have emerged in this new balance. Patterns include substitutions of the market and the state; and new interactions between government and society in areas such as social welfare, environment, education, and services. Based on shared responsibility between the public and private sectors, such patterns have produced new forms of governing and public management. Modern Governance gives a broad overview of the subject. It shows empirical cases of new governance forms which are drawn from Western Europe. It also reviews the major theoretical concepts explaining these developments. Focus is placed on the challenges and prospects for modern public management. This comprehensive volume is essential reading for students of public administration, management, government and political science, and organization theory.

Managing Public Organizations - Lessons from Contemporary European Experience (Hardcover): Jan Kooiman, Kjell A. Eliassen Managing Public Organizations - Lessons from Contemporary European Experience (Hardcover)
Jan Kooiman, Kjell A. Eliassen
R5,189 Discovery Miles 51 890 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Managing Public Organizations presents the case for the development of public management and indicates the directions it should take. It reviews the progress of new management initiatives in the European public sphere; examines the role of the public manager and the organization of public bodies; and considers the potential for change.

The contributors reject the notion that there are formulas for management innovation or that general rules from private sector management can be applied. They emphasize the need to develop a concept of management that is appropriate for public organizations.
