Descrizione del progetto
Come le iniziative «dal basso verso l’alto» uniscono parti di democrazie partecipative e deliberative
Il divario tra i processi decisionali politici e i cittadini si sta facendo sempre più visibile in Europa. Inoltre, la mancanza di fiducia nei processi politici ha in alcuni casi alimentato il sentimento populista e rafforzato la governance autocratica. Tuttavia, anziché interpretare la natura pluralistica della democrazia come una debolezza, i governi locali e i nuovi movimenti urbani stanno influenzando le culture politiche, spingendo verso una maggiore responsabilità e inclusività. Il progetto EUARENAS, finanziato dall’UE, esamina l’impatto di queste iniziative di riforma locale. Attraverso casi di studio comparativi e progetti pilota di innovazione della governance, EUARENAS svilupperà approfondimenti e buone prassi che siano sensibili al contesto per creare forme più inclusive di governance e di partecipazione dei cittadini. Il progetto svilupperà inoltre un serie di strumenti per la governance partecipativa e deliberativa.
Obiettivo
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.
