" "Swimming Upstream" represents the product of a sustained and provocative collaboration on the subject of collaboration itself--with watershed management in the spotlight. The authors develop and integrate cutting-edge theory, test important hypotheses, and tease out insightful implications for practice as well as research." --Laurence J. O’ Toole, Jr., Golembiewski Professor, Department of Public Administration and Policy, University of Georgia
" I’ ve been asking for this book for five years, but wondered who had the ambition and skill to pull it off. I shouldn’ t have wondered. Sabatier has assembled a top-notch team to address the thorniest issues surrounding collaborative watershed management. "Swimming Upstream" provides a long overdue infusion of theory and scholarship to a field overrun by dogma and propaganda." --Doug Kenney, Natural Resources Law Center, University of Colorado
" This is one of the most complete, current, rigorous, and worthwhile treatments of the problem of creating watershed management institutions. The book draws on the scholarship of a wide diversity of scholars, but integrates it in a novel and original fashion. "Swimming Upstream" is must reading for all scholars in this field." --Elinor Ostrom, Arthur F. Bentley Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, Indiana University
