生物多样性抵消(BDO)被认为能够减轻与发展有关的对物种种群的伤害，同时促进经济发展。这项技术涉及构建由于市场失灵而造成的损害，这可以通过市场解决方案来解决。BDO是有争议的，吸引了直言不讳的支持者和反对者。我们通过使用定性数据编码的结构化语篇分析，对提交给英国议会׳S环境审计委员会׳S 2013年英国生物多样性抵消调查的24份书面证据进行了结构化的语篇分析，考察了感兴趣的非政府行为者的不同观点。尽管立场和共识领域存在细微差别，但我们发现，在支持和反对BDO的组织之间存在着一种明显的对立模式，产生了核心对立。在解释这些对立的动态时，我们观察到不太可能解决这一问题，因为尽管辩论的框架是关于BDO政策的具体技术方面的有效性或可取性的不同观点，但这些差异源于根本上不同的价值框架。关于抵消的斗争涉及无法解决的价值斗争，因此，关于生物多样性抵消的假定合理性的谈判牢牢地位于政治和意识形态的舞台上。
Biodiversity offsetting (BDO) is presented as capable of mitigating development-related harm to populations of species while simultaneously enhancing economic development. The technique involves constructing such harm as a result of market failures, which can be resolved through market solutions. BDO is contentious, attracting outspoken proponents and opponents in equal measure. We examine competing perspectives of interested non-governmental actors through a structured discourse analysis, using qualitative data coding, of 24 written evidence submissions to the UK Parliament׳s Environmental Audit Committee׳s 2013 Inquiry into Biodiversity Offsetting in England. Nuanced positions and areas of agreement notwithstanding, we find that there is a discernible oppositional pattern producing core polarities between organisations favouring and resisting BDO. In interpreting these oppositional dynamics we observe that it is unlikely that thisimpassecan be resolved since although the debate is framed in terms of differences of view regarding the effectiveness or desirability of specific technical aspects of BDO policy, these differences arise from fundamentally divergent value framings. Struggles over offsetting involve irresolvable value struggles, and negotiations over the assumed (ir)rationality of biodiversity offsetting are thus located firmly within political and ideological arenas.
