Transformations in Governance is a major academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, and environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states to supranational institutions, subnational governments, and public-private networks. It brings together work that advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars.
The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.

About the Author
Elizabeth Baldwin is Associate Professor in the University of Arizona's School of Government and Public Policy. She received her PhD from Indiana University. Her research uses the tools of institutional analysis to study complex environmental governance, with a current focus on invasive species policy in the United States and natural resource governance in Ghana and Kenya. She is a former Fulbright Fellow to Ghana and an affiliated faculty of the Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University.
Mark Stephan is Associate Professor of Political Science at Washington State University Vancouver. He received his PhD from Princeton University. His research is in the areas of governance reforms, climate change, environmental justice, transparency policy, and environmental policy. He has mostly worked in the US context but recently helped to edit a book with chapters focused on multiple countries including Mongolia, Uganda, and Switzerland. He works in mixed methods, combining quantitative skills with survey and interview research. He worked with colleagues on an NSF-funded, multi-year study on climate change governance that analyzes state-local connections through a polycentric lens.
Sergio Villamayor-Tomas is Research Professor in the Department of Political Science and the Institute of Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. He is an environmental social scientist trained in political science (Sciences Po Paris), and in institutional ecological economics (Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, Indiana University). His research, carried out in Spain, Mexico and Colombia, Germany, and Switzerland, involves water governance, community-based natural resource management, climate change adaptation, and environmental justice movements. He is affiliated faculty of the Vincent and Elinor Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, and co-editor-in-chief of the International Journal of the Commons.
