Creative Governance Opportunities for Fisheries in Europe
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.

’...brimming with innovative ideas and concepts; not only for fisheries specialists, but also for scholars in political science, public administration, and policy sciences looking for a persuasive and in-depth application of the governance, social learning and institutional design approaches to policy analysis.’ Professor Dr. Robert Hoppe, University of Twente, The Netherlands ’...well known experts in the ecological and policy dimensions of fisheries, offer an expanded view of governance: beyond hierarchical bureaucratic regimes of the state to incorporate markets and the more complex and illusive governance structures created by industry and community participation in management and development.’ Dr Bonnie McCay, Rutgers State University, USA
