In March 2014 a group of early career researchers and academics from São Paulo state the UK met at University Campinas to participate in workshop on 'Responsible Innovation Governance Socially Controversial Technologies'. this Perspective we describe key reflections observations discussions, paying particular attention discourse responsible innovation cross-cultural perspective. We number important tensions, paradoxes opportunities that emerged over three days workshop.
Evaluation literature has paid relatively little attention to the specific needs of evaluating large, complex industrial and infrastructure projects, often called ‘megaprojects’. The abundant megaproject governance literature, in turn, largely focused on so-called ‘megaproject pathologies’, i.e. chronic budget overruns, failure such projects keep timetables deliver expected social economic benefits. This article draws these two strands identifies shortcomings, suggests potential pathways...
Impacts of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) environmental economic country reviews are compared in light their capacity to enhance policy integration (EPI). Employing a policy-making network perspective, genuine EPI is presumed require complex learning –'paradigmatic change'. on four functions – agenda-setting, horizontal communication, capacity-building, policy-learning analysed. Environmental Performance Reviews have greater potential than the experiment which...
This article examines the various roles that indicators, as boundary objects, can play a science-based evidence for policy processes. It presents two case studies from EU-funded POINT project analyzed use and influence of highly different types indicators: composite indicators sustainable development at EU level energy in UK. In both cases failed direct input to making, yet they generated conceptual political influence. The served “framework indicators”, helping advocate specific vision...
The concept of social licence to operate (SLO) is an increasingly popular tool for companies manage their relations with the local communities. SLO very seldom used in nuclear sector, which has nevertheless applied similar approaches, under notions such as partnership and participatory governance. This article explores specific challenges that application faces waste management (NWM) by applying often-used framework Boutilier Thomson illustrative case studies concerning repository projects...
The growing interest in evaluation as a new form of environmental governance stems from two developments: the movement towards New Public Management, and search for policy instruments managing complexity, uncertainty plurality values pursuit sustainable development. former holds increasing accountability main purpose evaluation, while latter stresses importance learning. These approaches are often considered mutually exclusive, but recent literature has underlined their complementary roles...
This article analyses the nature and role of recently established deliberative participatory mechanisms planning decision-making on radioactive waste management in three countries that have committed to extending their nuclear capacity – Finland, France UK. The introduces micro macro theories democracy, by relying distinction between normative, substantive instrumental functions participation examines degrees which different succeeded bridging boundary deliberation. empirical analysis...
Abstract The OECD sustainable development indicators are being used in the various peer reviews so as to ‘mainstream’ development. This article examines ways which economic surveys and environmental performance (EPRs) have been used, types of learning they engendered reviewed countries. Largely because deficiencies process designing indicator framework, sections 2001–2004 failed be sufficiently salient, credible legitimate key stakeholders an appreciable impact. EPRs ‘empowered’ authorities...
Abstract The possibilities of recovering radioactive waste deposited for final disposal (retrievability), and reversing decisions concerning the management (reversibility) have emerged as central issues on policymaking agenda in a number countries. Calls reversibility retrievability (R&R) emanated mainly from civil society politicians, subsequently, to varying degrees different countries, been translated into technical administrative solutions. This paper examines ways which R&R...
The notion of social licence to operate (SLO) has become a widely applied concept for companies in mining and resource extraction industries manage their community relations, the face local criticism opposition. SLO literature practice have highlighted earning trust as key requirement an SLO. This article addresses three weaknesses how current trust. arguments are illustrated via examples from nuclear waste management Finland, France Sweden – forerunners implementing high-level repository...
