A Study on a Way of Public Participating Energy Governance:Based on an Evaluation of the Citizens' Consensus Conference on Electricity Policies in Korea

윤순진

In a period of governance, one of the most important elements in decision-making processes is citizens' participation, which has been relatively excluded. Based on various reasons like that general citizens are exposed at consequences of policy enforcement as well as that legitimacy of decision-making and effectiveness of policy performance increase through public participation, public participation is currently regarded as a necessary element. However, citizens' participation in decision-making for energy policies, which involve specialized scientific and technological aspects as shown in the case of nuclear power technology, requires special institutional arrangement. This paper reviews and evaluates citizens' consensus conference on electricity policies, which was held recently by the Center for Citizens' Science, in order to explore how to apply the consensus conference model to decision-making processes of energy policy arena. Recent citizens' consensus conference reveals not only possibilities but also limits. In spite of some limits, it shows that Korean civil society has a great potential to participate in democratic decision-making processes and can activate the potential if balanced scientific and technologic knowledge is provided and deliberation processes are guaranteed.
