对法律的机会结构的研究集中在现有法律、现行规则和诉讼成本如何塑造社会运动团体动员法律的可能性。然而,关于法律的机会结构如何以及为何随时间变化的研究相对较少。本文重点介绍了《奥胡斯公约》中程序性环境权利的动员的案例研究。它解决了以下经验之谜:如何设计的权利,以帮助东欧实现环境民主,最终有助于重塑结构的法律的机会在英国?通过一个两步的历史过程追踪分析,依赖于社会建构主义的理论方法,这项研究表明,环保团体动员奥胡斯权利以多种方式和在不同的司法场所,导致随着时间的推移,获得正义的含义演变,使它包括“不过分昂贵”。这项研究建立在以前的工作表明,民间社会的代理人不是被动的代理人位于法律的机会结构,而是战略行为者谁可以发展和塑造获得司法通过政策倡导和诉讼。
Research on legal opportunity structures has focused on how existing law, standing rules, and the costs of litigation shape the likelihood that social movement groups will mobilize the law. Yet there has been relatively little research on how and why legal opportunity structures change over time. This article focuses on a case study of the mobilization of procedural environmental rights contained within the Aarhus Convention. It addresses the following empirical puzzle: how did rights that were designed to help Eastern Europeans achieve environmental democracy eventually contribute to a reshaping of the structure of legal opportunities in Britain? Through a two‐step historical process‐tracing analysis that relies on a social constructivist theoretical approach, this research shows that environmental groups mobilized Aarhus rights in a number of ways and across different judicial venues, resulting in an evolution over time of the meaning of access to justice so that it included being “not prohibitively expensive.” This research builds on previous work to show that civil society agents are not passive agents situated within legal opportunity structures but instead are strategic actors who can develop and shape access to justice through policy entrepreneurialism and litigation.
