contributions of this book to summarize key elements of the governability assessment framework. Their view focuses on the steps that follow after wicked problems
in a fi shery system are identi fi ed and the properties that affect governability have
been examined. They propose two further enquiries: one into the capacity of the
governing system to produce desirable outcomes, and the other into factors affecting
and being affected by governing interactions. In a similar vein, Kooiman re fl ects on
the fruitfulness of the interactive governance perspective and what it offers for the
transdisciplinary study of fi sheries and aquaculture systems in the fi nal chapter
(Chap. 19 ). Based on a scrutiny of basic concepts, he presents his views on achieving
a full understanding of the complexities involved in securing healthy social and
ecological systems through a governability lens.
Although this book emphasizes global challenges in fi sheries and aquaculture
governance, the interactive governance theory and the analytical governability perspective that we are offering have relevance for other societal sectors. Many of the
concerns and problems discussed in this book are certainly not unique to fi sheries
and aquaculture, but may be found elsewhere. Other concerns, such as climate
change and globalization, may also be examined in the same fashion. It is therefore
important that this book be read not just as another contribution to the fi eld of
fi sheries. With many publications having been generated over a period of more
than a decade, interactive governance has moved beyond the initial formative and
combative stage. It is now time to bring the perspective to other sectors that are
confronted with similar concerns and governability challenges. This will be the aim
of the upcoming compilations by the Fisheries Governance Network.
