Scale is an overlooked issue in the research on interactive governance. This book takes up the important task of investigating the scalar dimensions of collaborative governance in networks, partnerships, and other interactive arenas and explores the challenges of operating at a single scale, across or at multiple scales and of moving between scales. First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, the volume explores the role of scale and scaling in a wide range of policy areas, including employment policy, water management, transportation planning, public health, university governance, artistic markets, child welfare and humanitarian relief. Cases are drawn from Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America and span all levels from local to global. Together, the theoretical framework and the empirical case studies sensitize us to the tensions that arise between scales of governance and to the challenges of shifting from one scale of governance to another.

Con este título iniciamos la Colección de textos de Mariología Kentenijiana, la que abordará y profundizará aspectos centrales del marianismo del P. José Kentenich, fundador del Movimiento de Schoenstatt. Este primer libro se centra en la experiencia mariana del Padre Kentenich, desde su niñez hasta sus últimos días. Editorial Patris nació en 1982, hace 25 años. A lo largo de este tiempo ha publicado más de dos centenares de libros. Su línea editorial contempla todo lo relacionado con el desarrollo integral de la persona y la plasmación de una cultura marcada por la dignidad del hombre y los valores del Evangelio. Gran parte de sus publicaciones proceden del P. José Kentenich, fundador del Movimiento de Schoenstatt o de autores inspirados en su pensamiento. Por cierto, también cuenta con publicaciones de otros autores que han encontrado acogida en esta Editorial. De esta forma Editorial Patris no sólo ha querido poner a disposición de los miembros de la Obra de Schoenstatt un valioso aporte, sino que, al mismo tiempo, ha querido entregar a la Iglesia y a todos aquellos que buscan la verdad, una orientación válida en medio del cambio de época que vive la sociedad actual.
