3. Understanding new expectations for democratic environmental governance : a policy analysis of an activist movement in the South-East of France
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural DevelopmentSammanfattning : This paper is based at the nodal points of several phenomena, including political distrust in France, a European trend supporting public participation, a failed experiment of citizen assembly in France, and the organisation of a citizen collective to advocate for a replication of a similar citizen assembly, at the regional level, by environmental activists.
