Whether the goal is building a local park or developing disaster
response models, collaborative governance is changing the way
public agencies at the local, regional, and national levels are
working with each other and with key partners in the nonprofit and
private sectors. While the academic literature has spawned numerous
case studies and context- or policy-specific models for
collaboration, the growth of these innovative collaborative
governance systems has outpaced the scholarship needed to define
it. Collaborative Governance Regimes breaks new conceptual and
practical ground by presenting an integrative framework for working
across boundaries to solve shared problems, a typology for
understanding variations among collaborative governance regimes,
and an approach for assessing both process and productivity
performance. This book draws on diverse literatures and uses rich
case illustrations to inform scholars and practitioners about
collaborative governance regimes and to provide guidance for
designing, managing, and studying such endeavors in the future.
Collaborative Governance Regimes will be of special interest to
scholars and researchers in public administration, public policy,
and political science who want a framework for theory building, yet
the book is also accessible enough for students and practitioners.

Debates concerning the federal role in regulating industry and in
managing the nation's public lands are becoming increasingly
contentious. This is in part due to the rise of well-organized and
ideologically energized land rights movements that have vowed to
resist expansion of environmental regulations and even to roll back
existing environmental statutes. A Wolf in the Garden is the only
book available that assembles the arguments of key thinkers in the
land rights and the environmental movements. The broad range of
essays in this collection unveils hidden dimensions of the debate
and explores opportunities for the environmental movement to
revitalize itself by taking advantage of recent changes in the
political landscape.
