Received an honourable mention (runner up award for Harold and Margaret Sprout Award for the best book on the environment for 2014):
‘This collaborative work is a superb example of the dance between inductive and deductive analysis, and of generation of compelling new research questions through the analysis (and questioning) of existing patterns of governance. Committee members found the notions of the production of ‘governance spaces’ and the shifting ground of authority and legitimacy, the discussion of spatial clustering of participation in TCCG initiatives, and the discussion of how to contact governance systems especially useful.’
