Abstract

Risk management requires integrating scientific and political processes to respond to public concerns legitimately and practically. Fostering public participation is easier to preach than to espouse. This chapter clarifies key elements of public participation—dialogue, debate, and negotiation—to help citizens and officials improve future participatory processes in settings demanding effective and responsive risk management.
