How scientists understand, evaluate, and use science communication models: Evidence from the Leibniz Association in Germany
Scholars increasingly discuss deficit, dialogue, and participation models of science communication, yet scientists’ own understandings, evaluations, and uses of these models remain underexplored. This study analyses German researchers’ model-specific knowledge, attitudes, potential, and activities, considering also differences by age, gender, disciplinary background, professional position, and contract situation. Significant differences emerge fo…
Exploring impacts of participatory science communication on science, politics, and society
Discussions on potential impacts of participatory science communication (PSC) formats on science, society, and politics would benefit from more empirical investigation. This article provides a systematic analysis of the perceptions of science communicators on the potential impacts of PSC on these different groups. The two basic questions are: What impact does PSC have on science, society, and politics? To what extent can these impacts be attribut…
Structuring wicked problems in science communication
Public policy scholars increasingly deal with wicked problems and how diverse actors structure these problems in policy processes. However, the role of actors at the interface of science and society such as science communicators in structuring wicked problems remains widely unclear. This paper analyzes how science communicators translate wicked problems in their science communication activities focusing on two research questions: How do science c…
Barriers to plastic monitoring in freshwaters in the Global South
Plastics in freshwaters are a major problem for socio-ecological systems, calling upon smart policies for its solution. At the same time, there is a lack of relevant monitoring data on plastics in freshwaters to design such policies, specifically in the so-called Global South. This study, therefore, aims to analyze the complex barriers to mo-nitoring plastics in freshwaters in example cases of the Global South, as a starting point for more tailor…
Clusters of water governance problems and their effects on policy delivery
Public policy problems are increasingly being characterised as wicked or tame problems, assuming that this classification is also meaningful for attempts to effective problem-solving. But do distinct ‘wicked’ or ‘tame’ problems empirically exist? We investigate 37 water-related problems in Germany, based on interview-based data on problem wickedness and official data on policy delivery. Our analysis clearly reveals four clusters of water governan…
Stärkung der Wasser-Governanceforschung. Impulse aus der Forschung zum Integrierten Wasserressourcen-Management
Die Wasser-Governanceforschung muss fundamental gestärkt werden,wenn das Ziel eines nachhaltigen Wasserressourcen-Managements erreicht werden soll. Neben kontextspezifischen und abstrakten Analysen sollte der Fokus vermehrt auf problemstrukturelle Ansätze gelegt werden: Operationalisierungen von Problemstrukturen sollten verfeinert, klarere Bezüge zwischen diesen Strukturen hergestellt und deren Relevanz für verschiedene Problemkontexte systemati…
