"This edited volume explores different aspects of associative governance, providing detailed case studies of associations and associational governance in Nordic societies. Theoretically developing a concept of associative governance, the book sheds light on a dynamic way of perceiving associative aspects of community and commercial life that has been hitherto underexplored and undertheorized. It shows how governance by associations may be conducted by both bottom-up self-organized and voluntary participation and top-down authoritative incorporation, as well as interstices in between.
