Description

"The Handbook of Peer Production offers in-depth analysis of these emerging hybrid forms, as well as a uniquely comprehensive mapping of the origins and manifestations of peer production, whose principles and forms of cooperation have made inroads in multiple areas of production and sociality. Widening its scope, the Handbook of Peer Production also addresses the conditions which allow peer production to flourish or wither, as well as its consequences for the social order.

The volume gathers contributions from a diverse group of recognized experts and concludes with a panel with the founders of the field of peer production studies, who discuss its conceptual expansion, as well as a reflective piece on the future development of peer production."
