Acknowledgements This book originated in a Workshop on ‘Fisheries Governance’ that I organised under the auspices of the Environmental Politics Specialist Group of the UK Political Studies Association, which was held at the University of Newcastle during 4-6 September 2003. I am grateful for the financial support for the Workshop which was provided by both the Political Studies Association and Newcastle University, and for the organisational help provided by my colleague, Dr Derek Bell. I would also like to acknowledge my debt to the European Fifth Framework Project on the European Fisheries Ecosystem Plan (EFEP) under the leadership of Professor Frid, which stimulated me to investigate the issues surrounding participation in fisheries governance. My special thanks go to Jenny Hatchard, who worked with me for three years as a Research Associate on EFEP, for her invaluable work in formatting this book for publication.
