Citizen and consumer: The dual role of individuals in environmental policy

Article Abstract:

The dual role of the citizen and the consumer that individuals face in contemporary environmental policy is examined. The case of Sweden is taken as an example, and it is suggested that there appears to be a mismatch between Sweden's environmental policy documents, where economic rationality and external motivation for individuals' decision-making process are considered important, and the intrinsic motivation and values held by the Swedish people in general.

Deliberate democrats feel that decision-making structures that approximate the deliberative ideal lead to better environmental decision making that favors the general rather than specific interest. The Australian local government's use of public deliberation in its waste management review is analyzed in order to challenge the above view.
