Knowing Governance sets out to understand governance through the design and making of its models and instruments. What kinds of knowledge do they require and reproduce? How are new understandings of governance produced in practice, by scientists and policy makers and by the publics with whom they engage?
Reviews / Votes
"Knowing Governance provides an in many ways impressive collection of work. It manages to intervene in current discussions in thoughtful ways, and offers useful conceptual devices for understanding the epistemic construction of knowledge. . it manages to provide a cogent argument for its overarching goal, namely to establish knowing governance as an exciting research agenda going forward." (Jannick Schou, Science & Technology Studies, Vol. 30 (2), 2017)
