| is.evaluation.quotes | Hence, the traceability that the network collectively produces is itself commodified as part of the saleable product: the FSC does not merely do environmental politics and environmental management, but also does marketing as the tick-tree, as boundary object, speaks to different worlds of users (Bowker and Star, 1999). | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The FSC has built a new governance network largely outside the existing structures and authority of government, creating or adapting verification practices to join together heterogeneous resources for moral authority, environmental expertise and economic practicality. But I want to emphasise that it must continually invest in this network to ensure its survival, because, unlike government, governance networks cannot discipline directly and must rather continually negotiate, rather than impose, their influence. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The FSC shows how an explicitly heterogeneous network is built to seek scientific robustness for the standard and industrial support for its implementation, because "the more numerous and heterogeneous the interrelationships the greater the degree of network coordination and the greater the probability of successful resistance to alternative translations"' (Callon, 1991, p. 150). The FSC does not produce the tick-tree alone, but through a complex credibility alliance across the science-policy interface that, like Irwin and Michael's (2003, p. 108) assemblages, reflects and uses socially distributed knowledge. The hybrid membership of the network is also reflected in the hybrid practices which perform the tick-tree: in this sense, heterogeneity is not merely a description of but an explanation for its continued survival and support. | |
