很明显，我们的社会必须成为一个更可持续的社会。为此，我们必须改变我们的生产和消费模式。一些人认为，这意味着废除民主程序，从而废除公民对环境政策的参与。另一些人则持相反的观点：避免迫在眉睫的环境灾难的唯一途径是参与共同的审议和沉思。那么，参与到底是不是一种消极的力量呢？本卷是研究民主、参与式决策形式与环境决策质量之间关系的首批协调尝试之一。核心问题是如何将参与性决策的规范做法与解决环境问题的有效办法结合起来？在编辑的理论介绍的指导下，这15章涉及的主题从环境问题的规模、当地的21世纪议程、基础设施决策、战略规划到发展中国家的环境政策。三个章节专门讨论这些广泛的主题。每一个都提出了关于中心研究问题的理论或实证论点，揭示了诸如决策质量的测量、参与技术以及参与与决策质量之间的联系等问题，并借鉴了在欧洲、北美和南美、亚洲和非洲获得的经验。本书各个部分的介绍是由贡献者集体撰写的，他们代表了一系列专业学科，包括政治学、公共政策和规划。
It is clear that our society must become a more sustainable one. To that end, we must change both our production and our consumption patterns. Some argue that this implies the abolition of democratic processes, and thus of citizens' participation in environmental policy. Others argue the opposite: the only way to avoid impending environmental disaster is by engaging in common deliberation and contemplation. Is participation, then, a negative force or not? This volume is one of the first coordinated attempts to study the relationship between democratic, participatory forms of decision making and the quality of environmental decisions. The central question is how can the normatively desirable practice of participatory decision making be combined with an effective approach to environmental issues? Guided by a theoretical introduction by the editors, the 15 chapters deal with topics ranging from the scale of environmental problems, local agenda 21, infrastructural decisions, strategic planning, to environmental policy in developing countries. Three chapters are devoted to each of these broad themes. Each presents either a theoretical or an empirical argument about the central research question, shedding light on such issues as the measurement of decision quality, participation techniques, and the link between participation and decision quality, drawing on experience gained in Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Africa. The introductions to the individual parts of the book have been collectively written by the contributors, who represent a range of professional disciplines, including political science, public policy and planning.
