The third number of the journal 2016 edition is in your hands. By tradition it comprises four Actor-Network Theory related articles. The first one advances important theoretical and methodological issues that lies in the core ANT approach, and the other three are interesting ANT case studies of innovations in agro-food industry (introduction of new type of lemongrass tea in Manipur, India), in modern molecular biology based medicine (control of vancomycin-resistant enterococci outbreaks in Canadian hospitals), and in the field of public policy (the process of achieving new agreement between government and trade unions in Jamaica). Interesting enough all three studies apply the ANT "four stages of translation process" model, developed by Michel Callon, Bruno Latour and Madeleine Akrich, as one of key instrument in their analysis, two of them in integration with other approaches.
