Seeds of distrust: conflicts over sustainable development in a local fracking policy network in New York State
通过分析纽约州一个地方水力压裂政策网络，研究了利益相关者之间不信任的成因，发现生态世界观不一致、政策目标冲突、框架构建、政策沟通和知识交换是主要影响因素。
Pursuing economic, environmental and social sustainability requires networks endowed with persistent relationships between stakeholders. Networks serve as the vehicle to coordinate diverse policy goals among stakeholders. Within the networks, stakeholders inevitably experience some level of distrust due to the complexity and uncertainty of the unstructured problems on the sustainability. However, little is known about why stakeholders often distrust with one another in the networks. By analysing a local fracking policy network in NYS, we suggest that distrust is influenced by incongruent ecological worldviews, policy goals incongruence in the triple bottom line of sustainability, characterization framing, policy communications and knowledge exchange.
