  Crossed perspectives on river planning

  Les cours d’eau et leur gestion constituent un objet d’étude vaste et complexe, qui intéresse autant les milieux académiques que politiques et techniques. Au cœur des préoccupations se trouve notamment la connaissance et la maîtrise du fonctionnement des rivières, dans un contexte d’interactions spatiales et temporelles croissantes et de plus en plus complexes avec les activités anthropiques. Le colloque « Regards croisés sur l’aménagement des cours d’eau » organisé par le CRESAT (EA 3436) à Mulhouse, a pour objectif de croiser les différentes approches, de confronter les expériences et les expertises dans le cadre d’une réflexion interdisciplinaire, internationale et diachronique sur l’aménagement au sens large des cours d’eau.

  Historicising Deliberative Democracy

  7th ECPR General Conference

  The last thirty years have seen the burgeoning of political and academic speeches on the merits of participative or deliberative democracy. In parallel, in occidental democracies, various systems sharing the ambition to strengthen or increase citizen participation through collective discussion on public issues are being institutionalized. These devices are often viewed today as a novel cure to the present crisis of representative governance. This panel, at the crossroads of sociology, history and political science, aims at historicizing such deliberation necessity and at redrawing the genesis of the phenomenon as speech and political practice.
