Governing Shale Gas

Development, Citizen Participation and Decision Making in the US, Canada, Australia and Europe

af Matthew Cotton, m.fl.

This book maps the development of shale gas in multiple democratic governance systems: the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Germany and Poland. Overall, the book proposes a systemic, participatory, community led approach required to achieve a form of legitimacy that allows communities to derive social priorities by a process of community visioning.
