Abstract
Evolutionary Governance Theory is a novel perspective on the way societies, markets and governance evolve. It integrates concepts and insights from various theoretical sources into a new coherent framework. This book aims to explore how this framework can be further developed and how it can be applied to a range of governance issues. This chapter presents a brief introduction into the book and a reading guide that gives an overview of the different contributions.
