本文运用实用主义社会学的方法，在一个直接民主和自下而上的环境中理解环境争端及其潜在的道德问题。在瑞士阿尔卑斯山没有建立一个计划中的国家公园可以作为一个案例研究，分析国家公园谈判中提出的价值原则。我们指出保护谈判的复杂性，并认为，松散定义的共同利益的想法可能会导致额外的困难，自下而上的项目。此外，我们为讨论自然保护和直接民主的相互作用开辟了新的领域。
This article engages with pragmatic sociology to understand an environmental dispute and its underlying moral issues in a direct-democratic and bottom-up setting. The non-establishment of a planned national park in the Swiss Alps serves as a case study to analyse principles of worth presented in national park negotiations. We point to the complex nature of conservation negotiations and argue that loosely defined ideas of the common good can lead to additional difficulties for a bottom-up project. Moreover, we open up new ground for discussion concerning the interplay of nature conservation and direct democracy.
