Abstract
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is an infectious disease caused by a prion
that results in neurodegeneration and death in cervids. This study uses Q
methodology to characterize stakeholder perspectives about CWD risk and
management on the Canadian prairies, and to understand the potential for CWD
management using an adaptive governance framework. Workshops and individual
interviews were conducted with 16 stakeholders in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Problem definitions framed CWD as a technical problem calling for technical
solutions. All perspectives on solutions focused on the importance of education
and the idea that management should fit within a national management strategy. A
unique Aboriginal perspective also emerged and warrants further exploration.
Results also indicated that although stakeholders wish to be involved with CWD
management, they trust and expect government leadership, and are disinterested
in adaptive governance. Challenges for stakeholder involvement in Canadian CWD
management include a lack of sufficient leadership and general ambivalence.
Keywords: adaptive governance, chronic wasting disease, Q methodology,
