Participation and Power: Civic Discourse in Environmental

Participation and Power: Civic Discourse in Environmental Policy Decisions (S U N Y Series, Studies in Scientific and Technical Communication)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Participation and Power examines the ways in which citizens are allowed to participate in environmental policy decision making. Despite requirements that mandate public participation, institutional practices and current models of public participation often exclude citizens from anything other than a superficial role. W. Michele Simmons offers a firsthand look at risk communication and public participation practices through a case study involving the disposal of VX nerve agent. Arguing that a rhetoric for civic discourse in policy debates is needed, she constructs a theory of democratic and ethical public involvement that grants citizens more power in the decision-making process.
