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