Review
""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
