Conceptualising Co-Management

'Much has been written about co-management, but an updated comprehensive book had been lacking. Professor Nunan's book fills this gap by providing a coherent review and analysis – a key resource for scholars, students and practitioners.' Fikret Berkes, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Manitoba
'Professor Nunan has synthesized the literature on co-management and related subjects in a comprehensive, coherent and theoretically informed manner. Her book serves as a standard reference for practitioners and students worldwide who want to escape common pool resource tragedies in a way that is consistent with good governance principles. Svein Jentoft, Professor Emeritus, Norwegian College of Fishery Science, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway
'This book is a welcome addition to the literature on co-management and natural resource governance. Fiona Nunan strikes a clever balance between rich content and succinct presentation, which ensures that this book is a rewarding read. The mapping of a range of concepts, their synthesis into four key themes and a definition of co-management makes this a valuable resource for students, academics and practitioners.' Frances Cleaver, Professor Emeritus, Lancaster University
'Institutions. Power. Scale. Learning. Rights. The concepts covered in this exciting book get to the core of what makes co-management so powerful as an approach, and as a vision of what's possible. The book is required reading for students, applied researchers and resource managers seeking to understand the full range of ideas behind co-management, and how it can catalyze better social and ecological outcomes.' Derek Armitage, Director, School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, University of Waterloo
