ENVIRONMENTAL DEMOCRACY [1 record]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Political Systems
  • Environmental Law
CONT

Environmental democracy, by contrast, revolves around reforming (rather than transforming) existing institutions of liberal democracy. Environmental democracy thus resonates with ideas of green liberalism or liberal environmentalism and is also more anthropocentric in its outlook.

CONT

[...] la notion de démocratie environnementale procède de [la] philosophie [...] d'une démocratie dans laquelle des formes participatives de gouvernement complètent l'expression éminente, essentielle, durable, mais aussi ponctuelle et générale du suffrage politique. Sa construction s'inscrit ainsi dans une évolution plus globale d'approfondissement de la démocratie dite «administrative», qui complète et enrichit la pratique démocratique dans son ensemble.
