Abstract
The essay aims to evaluate whether deliberative democracy could inspire
strategies appropriate to improve the enforcement of environmental law, making
it more effective: especially when competing interests are simultaneously
relevant (e.g. health and environment to one side; employment to the other side)
and the regulation needs a deep evaluation to balance the protection of natural
resources and other values. Furthermore, a deliberative approach can foster community
participation in the risk management, in order to involve the citizens in
prevention strategies and to consider criminal sanctions actually as the extrema
ratio. Several aspects about the
implementation of deliberative strategies and instruments are critically discussed,
also presenting pertinent case studies and emphasizing the more controversial
points.
