Description du projet
Comprendre l’influence d’initiatives locales sur la démocratie participative et délibérative
Le fossé entre les processus de décision politique et les citoyens est de plus en plus visible en Europe. À cela vient s’ajouter que le manque de confiance dans les processus politiques a parfois alimenté le sentiment populiste et renforcé la gouvernance autocratique. Plutôt que d’interpréter la nature pluraliste de la démocratie comme une faiblesse, des collectivités locales et de nouveaux mouvements urbains tentent pourtant d’influencer les cultures politiques en favorisant la responsabilisation et l’inclusion. Le projet EUARENAS, financé par l’UE, étudie l’impact de ces initiatives de réforme locales. Au moyen d’études de cas comparatives et de pilotes d’innovation en matière de gouvernance, EUARENAS générera des idées et des bonnes pratiques adaptées au contexte pour instaurer des formes plus inclusives de gouvernance et de participation citoyenne. Il développera également une boîte à outils pour la gouvernance participative et délibérative.
Objectif
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.
