Content:
Scale choices influence the content of a study (the problems on the agenda, the options found and the impacts addressed) and the process (actors involved, their dedication and criticalness). This work synthesizes different perspectives on scale choices (spatial boundary setting and temporal boundary setting) in policy analysis.
