本文主张发展“网络政治生态学”，借鉴区域政治生态学的见解和网络尺度理论的最新进展，以应对研究气候变化脆弱性和适应的中尺度问题的挑战。 “网络政治生态学”关注社会生态产生的规模并以区域资源利用系统为基础，它就是这样一种方法，它填补了理解脆弱性表现和适应能力产生的复杂过程所必需的中层理论的空白。印度拉贾斯坦邦依靠地下水进行灌溉的农民的案例证明了这种方法。
This paper argues for the development of 'network political ecology', drawing on the insights from regional political ecology and recent advancements in network theories of scale, to meet the challenges of investigating the meso-scale problem of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change. 'Network political ecology', attentive to scale as socio-ecologically produced and grounded in a regional resource use system, is one such approach that fills this gap in middle-range theory necessary to understand the complex processes through which vulnerability manifests and adaptive capacity is produced. This method is exemplified through the case of groundwater-dependent irrigating farmers in Rajasthan, India.
