Facts and feelings constitute a complex tension in modern science.
Not only can public opinion deviate from scientific knowledge, but
that knowledge itself can be lacunose or contradicting. Managing
Facts and Feelings in Environmental Governance examines this
internal friction, between the need to engage the public in the
importance of environmental governance and the demand of
professional expertise to address the issues that arise. This
timely and insightful book acknowledges the growing role of
behavioural science in the determination of environmental policy,
regulation and decision-making, providing astute guidance to
decision-makers regarding how to balance the needs of public
participation procedures and professional expertise. Its
multidisciplinary approach provides new insights in the field of
public participation, enabling further analysis of environmental
psychology, equality law and fundamental rights and offers concrete
guidance on how to approach natural science in court. Engaging with
the role that the precautionary principle can play in balancing
tensions between public and academic spheres, this book includes a
state-of-the-art account of the precautionary approach under EU and
International Law. Combining law in action with academic
approaches, this book is a must-read for scholars of environmental
law, governance and regulation. It also offers valuable guidance
for decision-makers and NGOs active in environmental protection, as
well as environmental lawyers at national, European and
international levels.
