The Political Economy of Cross-Scale Networks in Resource Co-Management
Open accessAbstract
We investigate linkages between stakeholders in resource management that occur at different spatial and institutional levels and identify the winners and losers in such interactions.So-called crossscale interactions emerge because of the benefits to individual stakeholder groups in undertaking them or the high costs of not undertaking them.Hence there are uneven gains from cross-scale interactions that are themselves an integral part of social-ecological system governance.The political economy framework outlined here suggests that the determinants of the emergence of cross-scale interactions are the exercise of relative power between stakeholders and their costs of accessing and creating linkages.Cross-scale interactions by powerful stakeholders have the potential to undermine trust in resource management arrangements.If government regulators, for example, mobilize information and resources from cross-level interactions to reinforce their authority, this often disempowers other stakeholders such as resource users.Offsetting such impacts, some cross-scale interactions can be empowering for local level user groups in creating social and political capital.These issues are illustrated with observations on resource management in a marine protected area in Tobago in the Caribbean.The case study demonstrates that the structure of the cross-scale interplay, in terms of relative winners and losers, determines its contribution to the resilience of social-ecological systems.

In the citing paper
“Adger et al. (2005) find that when cross-scale linkages are characterized by power asymmetries, more powerful actors seeking to further their interests can dominate the linkages in a way that further skews knowledge and information in their favor.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
