“…It is these problem and solution frames that are typically subject to scale framing as people attempt to change the legitimacy of certain arguments and stakeholders in a decision-making process (van Lieshout et al 2011, Juerges andNewig 2015).…”

“…Solution frames include both frames of a particular solution and frames of how a decision should be made (Lewicki 2003, Juerges andNewig 2015). They are closely linked to problem frames; how a person conceptualizes a problem and which elements of the problem they consider most relevant will relate to how they frame solutions (Bardwell 1991).…”

“…Upscaling and downscaling involve shifting the interpretation of an issue to higher or lower levels on the same scale, respectively. They are often used in solution scale framing to argue for a change in the level at which decision making or governance of an issue occurs (Kurtz 2003, Harrison 2006, van Lieshout et al 2012, Juerges and Newig 2015. For example, environmental organizations in Germany argued that decisions about windfarms should be taken at state level, rather than local level, to avoid local-level economic concerns overriding environmental protection (Juerges and Newig 2015).…”

ABSTRACT. Many large dams are coming to the end of their lifespans and decisions must be made about whether to rebuild/refurbish or remove them, which will have different implications across temporal and spatial scales. Such decisions are often controversial, but little is known about what drives differences in stakeholders' perspectives of them. Cognitive scale frames describe how people use scales in interpreting such an issue, including which of its elements they prioritize and which they minimize. Using interviews with 30 stakeholders and analysis of documents, we explored how stakeholders used spatial and temporal scales in their frames of a decision about whether to rebuild/refurbish or remove the Mactaquac Dam in New Brunswick, Canada. We found that stakeholders used multiple levels on spatial, hydrological, administrative, and temporal scales in their frames. Both those who wanted to retain the dam and those who wanted to remove it upscaled problems from local level to higher spatial levels, making problems seem widely shared and therefore legitimate. However, there were mismatches in the scales used: the retainers upscaled to the province on the administrative scale while the removers upscaled to the entire river on the hydrological scale. The results revealed the particular importance of temporal scale frames, particularly of the past, which have been little studied. Both groups framed problems as continuing into the future, but diverged strongly in how they framed various periods of the past as being relevant to understanding problems and their solutions in the present. Decision makers should be aware of differing scale frames when designing decision-making processes and conflict resolution efforts.

Actor perceptions of polycentricity in wind power governance

Wind power development as an alternative to fossil fuels or nuclear energy is currently a challenge for many countries. Wind power development often leads to conflicts between different actors. This case study examines conflict about wind power projects in forested landscapes in Rhineland‐Palatinate, Germany, and Maine, USA. Specifically, actor perspectives on polycentric governance and its legitimacy to manage such complex conflicts were evaluated based on 40 qualitative, semistructured interviews with actors engaged in wind power decisions from various sectors. Polycentric governance has been advocated by many to alleviate conflicts and arrive at sustainable solutions in complex resource management settings. Polycentric governance systems of wind power issues were regarded positively and considered as having high legitimacy by interview participants. Even though individuals had varied perceptions, the combined perceptions of the two polycentric systems in Rhineland‐Palatinate and Maine and the factors that constitute legitimacy in wind power governance were similar in both cases.
