  • Institutional (in)sensibility and liberal democracy : from the inclusion and participation of local communities to the democratization of environmental policy processes
    Dagalev, Deni ; Lukšič, Andrej
    As part of the intensive rethinking of political ecology, the communication vortex between local communities and political and scientific institutions vis-à-vis the environment has been subjected to ... increasing scrutiny. A recurring critique is present among green (and other) theorists that regulatory environmental science and the institutional configuration of liberal democracy have increasingly consolidated technocracy and eroded the public sphere – the autonomous area that should sustain a vibrant democratic culture. Stretching the argument further, the issue of the scientization of politics has not only exacerbated environmental issues but also fostered their further depoliticization, hence the exclusion of affected and/or organized communities in the communication and decision-making processes. Stemming primarily from an Arendtian-inspired view on politics, this paper seeks to reinvigorate and implant ‘the political’ as a central element in addressing environmental issues against the backdrop of the descending structural integrity of liberal democracy, simultaneously appraising the appeals of deliberative democracy as a pathway for pronounced citizen participation in environmental (and other) policy arenas, where the conditions for the existence of humans and other-than-humans are being decided upon.
