Achieving Ecological Reflexivity: The Limits of Deliberation and the Alternative of Free-Market-Environmentalism
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Methods and Approach to Realizing Reflexivity: Three Challenges to Ecological Deliberation
2.1. Challenge I: Rational Ignorance
2.2. Challenge II: Rational Irrationality
2.3. Challenge III: Radical Ignorance
“Democratic representatives can never access or process the complex of factors to adjust for the demand for [wind farms] accordingly. Information pertaining to ethics, local conditions, pressures on land use, and so on, does not exist as an integrated whole and nor can it be gathered into a deliberative forum”.[62] (p. 246)
3. Results: Resolving the Issues of Ignorance to Better Achieve Ecological Reflexivity
4. Discussion: Better Achieving Ecological Reflexivity
