Contents Introduction -- The official story: examples from the Amazon -- The challenges of collaboration -- Crossing boundaries for collaboration -- The analytics of crossing boundaries -- Inequalities and politics in collaboration across boundaries -- Uncertainty and surprises when crossing boundaries -- Crossing boundaries and the self -- Conclusion: seasons of collaboration.
Summary Societal problems that require collaboration across boundaries are growing, but the issues, tasks, challenges, and strategic practices of partnering across divides often fall outside the technical skill sets of would-be collaborators. This book brings together knowledge from many disciplines and firsthand experience from conservation and development projects in the Amazon to elucidate the travails but also the advantages of collaborating across boundaries.
