Description: Das Projekt "Umsetzung nachhaltiger und innovativer Politik durch partizipatorisches Regieren in einem 'Multilevel-Kontext'" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Technische Universität Darmstadt, Institut für Politikwissenschaft durchgeführt. The overall goal of the project is to identify conditions for the realization of sustainable and innovative developments which support a shift towards participatory governance. Within the area of political practice which are analyzed empirically, elements of governance will be identified which enable innovative and sustainable policies to flourish, based an the gore values of dialogue, negotiation, active citizenship, partnership, subsidiarity and encouragement of institutional capacity. From these findings, models of feasible forms of participatory governance and conditions for their realization will be developed. What the project intends to do, are basically three things: l. The political and academic debate about democratic governance will be analyzed at a conference, in which the important dimensions of this debate will be discussed by leading academics and policy-makers. The function of the conference for the project is twofold: a) It will systematically identify common understanding as well as different basic assumptions in the debate. b) More important, topics shall be identified which seem not to be addressed in thinking along existing conceptual of theoretical pathways. It is a basic assumption of the project, that problems of democracy are not only problems of theoretical reasoning. These problems have actually to be solved by social practices which develop new forms of governance. 2. Therefore the empirical approach demands a close detailed search for different mixtures of governance present at the different territorial levels, in different sectors of society and in different countries. The empirical analysis of research project concentrates an comparative case studies (Germany, Greece and the UK). Case No 1 deals with water supply systems in Frankfurt, Athens and London (including the relevant framework set up by the EU and the mentioned member states). Case No 2 is focused an EMAS, the ecological management scheme of the EU. We will analyse the translation of the EU regulation into national administrative structures and the governance practices as well as in enterprises. 3. The empirical findings, based an theoretical debates about democracy today will help us to draw up guidelines an how particular combinations of different forms (or mixes) of governance would have to be re-arranged in order to fulfill the requirements of participatory governance. The combination of the synthesising of the debate about democratic governance and the results of the empirical investigation will offer the change to detect empirically and theoretically the components of models where (participatory) policy making and (sustainable and innovative) social change are addressed in a comprehensive way. This will permit casting new light an what constitutes participatory governance and how national and local conditions could be improved in order to further strengthening participatory governance. usw.
