Call for contributions for a new TBTI book

Since publishing the ‘Fish for Life book in 2005 (Kooiman et al., eds.), numerous efforts have been made to advance the Interactive Governance (IG) theory and its applications. Some of these efforts have culminated in the 2013 book (Bavinck et al., eds.), focusing on governability, and the 2015 book (Jentoft & Chuenpagdee, eds.), focusing on the application of IGT on small-scale fisheries. The literature on IG shows that the theory has been applied globally and widely, beyond fisheries and oceans. To help celebrate the 20 years since the publication of the Fish for Life book, and in recognition of the great work by IG scholars around the world, it is deemed suitable to contemplate the 4th book, to highlight the progress made in theorizing IG, to reflect on lessons learned from various applications, to identify and fill theoretical and application gaps, and to project areas and spheres where IG theory can have the most real-world impact.

The deadline for submission of interest is December 15, 2023. If you have any questions about this, please send them to tbti.global@gmail.com.
