Cash et al. 2006 Scale and Cross-Scale Dynamics: Governance and Information in a Multilevel World

This paper considers how cross-scale and cross-level dynamics are a critical but under-studied feature of environmental problems. The chapter distinguishes between the concepts of scale and level, explores the many ways they can interact to create challenges for environmental management, and offers suggestions for how management could respond to these challenges. It was selected to illustrate the question of relating small scale studies to regional and global scales, as identified in question 2.
