Knowing Governance provides an in many ways impressive collection of work. It manages to intervene in current discussions in thoughtful ways, and offers useful conceptual devices for understanding the epistemic construction of knowledge. ... it manages to provide a cogent argument for its overarching goal, namely to establish knowing governance as an exciting research agenda going forward. (Jannick Schou, Science & Technology Studies, Vol. 30 (2), 2017)
