Abstract
This book is a product of ‘The Comparative Evaluations of Innovative Solutions in European Fisheries’ (CEVIS) project. CEVIS was created in response to a call from the European Commission for scientific research on performance evaluations of fisheries management regimes. It quickly became an exploration of how science can aid policy decisions. CEVIS teamed up biologists, economists, and other social scientists to evaluate four fisheries management innovations being considered for Europe: participatory approaches; rights-based regimes; effort control; and decision-rule systems. This introductory chapter outlines the basic ideas, aims and scientific approaches of CEVIS, and offers a brief presentation of the chapters of the book. It provides the reader with an orientation to the book and its origins, hence providing an aid for further reading.

Notes
- 1.
In this case the term ‘social scientists’ include economists, who, of course, are social scientists. However, through most of the book, for clarity’s sake, we use the term social scientist to mean non-economic social scientists and mention economists separately.
