Synopsis

Participatory Processes for Natural Resource Management Ortwin Renn University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany Need for analytic-deliberative processes Inviting the public to be part of the decision making process in natural resource management has been a major objective in European and American environmental policy arenas. The US-National Academy of Sciences has encouraged environmental protection agencies to foster citizen participation and public involvement for making environmental policy making and natural resource management more effective and democratic (Stern and Fineberg 1996).

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The book outlines an integrative theoretical framework and examines examples of stakeholder dialogues and public participation in three areas: science, policy and management.
