Governing the ecological transition rather than strengthening environmental democracy: a deceptive institutionalisation of citizen participation
Mazeaud, Alice
Governing the ecological transition rather than strengthening environmental democracy: a deceptive institutionalisation of citizen participation - 2021.
77
All policies now affirm it: the ecological transition will not take place without the citizens. However, this institutionalization of citizen participation in environmental public action is deceptive: it aims less at strengthening environmental democracy than at governing the ecological transition through the empowerment and mobilization of eco-citizens. Citizen participation follows a trajectory of depoliticization, it is being disseminated above all as an instrument of the “mobilizing State”. It then changes its logic: it is no longer a question of participating in the discussion of the principles of action, but of participating in the execution of public action.
