Für seinen Artikel »Beyond radicalism and resignation: the competing logics for public participation in policy decisions«, der 2017 in der Zeitschrift Policy & Politics erschienen ist, hat Dr. Rikki John Dean, wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl von Prof. Brigitte Geißel/Institut für Politikwissenschaft, den »Bleddyn Davies prize for the best Early Career paper published in 2017« erhalten. Der UniReport hatte die Gelegenheit, Dean einige Fragen zu seiner Forschung zu stellen.
The theory and practice of urban governance in recent years has undergone both a collaborative and participatory turn. The strong connection between collaboration and participation has meant that citizen participation in urban governance has been conceived in a very particular way: as varying levels of partnership between state actors and citizens. This over-focus on collaboration has led to: 1) a dearth of proposals in theory and practice for citizens to engage oppositionally with institutions; 2) the miscasting of agonistic opportunities for participation as forms of collaboration; 3) an inability to recognise the irruption of agonistic practices into participatory procedures. This article attempts to expand the conception of participatory urban governance by adapting Rosanvallon’s (2008) three democratic counter-powers—prevention, oversight and judgement—to consider options for institutionalising agonistic participatory practices. It argues that these counter-governance processes would more fully realise the inclusion agenda that underpins the participatory governance project.
