Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mini-publics are methods in which randomly selected members of the public are gathered to form a microcosm to deliberate on policy issues to produce recommendations for decision making, and this study shows that such methods are useful to a certain degree for public participation in environmental policy, not only at a local level but also at a national or international level, as in the cases of Deliberative Polling on National Energy Choice and World Wide Views. However, these methods involve instability in the way discussion results are used as it basically depends on the circumstances of the policy makers' side.
