Descripción del proyecto
Cómo las iniciativas de base fusionan elementos de la democracia participativa y la deliberativa
Las brechas entre los procesos de toma de decisiones y los ciudadanos son cada vez más visibles en Europa. Además, la falta de confianza en los procesos políticos ha avivado el sentimiento populista y ha reforzado la gobernanza autocrática en algunos casos. Sin embargo, en lugar de interpretar la naturaleza pluralista de la democracia como una debilidad, los gobiernos locales y los nuevos movimientos urbanos están incidiendo en las culturas políticas al exigir una mayor rendición de cuentas e inclusividad. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos EUARENAS investiga el impacto de estas iniciativas de reforma local. Mediante estudios comparativos de casos y programas piloto de innovación para la gobernanza, EUARENAS generará información sensible al contexto y buenas prácticas para unas formas más inclusivas de gobernanza y participación ciudadana. Además, desarrollará un juego de herramientas para la gobernanza participativa y deliberativa.
Objetivo
Gaps between political decision-making processes and citizens has become increasingly visible in Europe, particularly since the EU’s post-Millennial economic, political and security crises. In addition, general distrust of politics has been exacerbated by populist and neo-nationalist political forces that interpret the pluralistic and agnostic nature of democracy as a weakness. These and similar tendencies could have grave consequences through a further erosion of multicultural conviviality and social cohesion in Europe. Nevertheless, populism and political disaffection on a more general level are being met by counter currents of local political activism and an increasing consciousness of the political role of social movements in cities and urban areas. Cities have emerged as vital political arenas for the development of the European public sphere and the promotion of inclusion, social agendas and active citizenship. In addition, different forms of citizen participation have started to transform governance cultures of several large European cities, taking active roles in local elections, and becoming part of local political structures, from Paris to Istanbul. Based on several case studies and pilots of governance innovation initiatives we will investigate the ways in which social movements coupled with local government reform initiatives create momentum for political change that include more inclusive and participatory forms of governance. In EUARENAS we will target the following: 1) the ways in which these practices emerge, the main actors, the strategies, methods and digital platforms they develop to attract attention and how they appropriate urban spaces, 2) economic, political and cultural factors influencing local outcomes, 3) horizontal and vertical governance implications of governance innovations and 4) the added value of solutions (housing, social care, social justice, social diversity, climate change) provided by participatory/deliberative means.
