"Scale issues are an increasingly important feature of complex sustainability issues, but they are mostly taken for granted in policy processes. However, the scale at which a problem is defined as well
as the scale at which it should be solved are potentially contentious issues. The framing of a problem as a
local, regional, or global problem is not without consequences and influences processes of inclusion and
exclusion. Little is known about the ways actors frame scales and the effect of different scale frames on
decision making processes. This paper addresses the questions that different scale frames actors use and
what the implications of scale frames are for policy processes. It does so by analyzing the scale frames
deployed by different actors on the establishment of a so-called new mixed company or mega farm and
the related decision making process in a Dutch municipality. We find that actors deploy different and
conflicting scale frames, leading to scale frame mismatches. We conclude that scale frame mismatches
play an important role in the stagnation of the decision making process." |
