Place-based leadership and environmental conflicts in the European Union
研究了基于地方的领导力与环境冲突的关系，以法国为例分析环境冲突的分布，并通过三个案例考察不同行为者如何影响地方社区的环境冲突，发现地方科学家和非指定领导者的关键作用。
This paper investigates the relationship between place-based leadership and environmental conflicts. Focusing on France, we examine the development and distribution of environmental conflicts, and compare them with what happens in the European Union. We then select three case studies to analyse the behaviour of different actors or groups involved, examining actions and initiatives that can ignite or help defuse environmental conflicts across local communities. Findings unveil the key role of local scientists in environmental conflicts, and the emergence of non-assigned leaders who utilise interpretive power to influence decision-making processes related to large infrastructural projects approved at local and national levels.
