ENVIRONMENTAL DEMOCRACY FACING UNCERTAINTY KART...

This collective work provides a reflexive reading of environmental democracy as a new method of
governance of the contemporary ecological issues that declining biodiversity  climate change
and sustainable development present. The authors examine the links between the environment and
democracy by questioning the status of actors  the manner of their involvement  the various
ways of mobilising knowledge and the mechanisms of dialogue and decision-making based on study
cases observed in different national contexts (Italy  France  Ireland  Germany  the Netherlands
Russia  Canada and Brazil). This international approach sheds light on the means of
appropriation of environmental democracy on a local level and its ability to promote universal
characteristics or to standardise the connection to the environment and politics. The
originality of this work comes  among other things  from its transversality  associating texts
with differing theoretical outlooks and methodology in an innovative way. Through this
perspective on-going processes of redefining environmental problems are revealed via the prisms
of risks and uncertainty  thus assigning them a new role in aiding decision-making in a
sociology that is in turn critical and committed.
