This thesis analyses the conditions for the promotion of ecological citizenship,
using the tools of political theory. I examine the role of the state, the green state, the green
public sphere and civil society in the articulation of ecological citizenship. The dominant
position in this debate is that states should be actively involved in the greening of
citizenship, using different strategies to encourage ecological habits and values among
citizens. These possibilities are analysed and assessed. Some have argued, drawing on
studies of the ecological reform of the state, that in order to foster ecological citizenship,
states should undergo transformations so as to become green states. This view is examined
with a focus on the difference between the liberal state and the green state in order to
clarify the distinct conceptions of ecological citizenship that they uphold, and the variety of
mechanisms and institutions used by each of them to articulate ecological citizenship.
Although the green state offers more opportunities for the promotion of ecological
citizenship, some of the problems of state-centric approaches persist, so the discussion
moves onto actors and spaces outside state institutions. This part of the research starts with
a discussion of the notion of the green public sphere and investigates how ecological
citizenship may be defined within this sphere. This analysis concludes that a conception of
the green public sphere different from that which dominates the eco-political literature is
required both for the promotion of ecological citizenship and a politics of sustainability. To
this end, I suggest a redefinition of the green public sphere. Finally, after distinguishing
between the public sphere and civil society, I examine the possibilities of nurturing
ecological citizenship in civil society |

Se examina cuál es el papel que el Estado, el Estado verde, la esfera pública verde y la sociedad civil tienen en la articulación de la ciudadanía ecológica. La postura que domina este debate se basa en que los Estados deberían involucrarse activamente en la transformación ecológica de la ciudadanía usando distintas estrategias para impulsar hábitos y valores ecológicos. Esta posibilidad es analizada y evaluada. Partiendo de los estudios sobre la reforma del Estado en clave ecológica, algunos autores han argumentado que la promoción de la ciudadanía ecológica debe ir acompañada de cambios conducentes a la consolidación de Estados verdes. Esta visión es estudiada, prestando especial atención a la diferencia entre el concepto de Estado liberal y el de Estado verde a efectos de clarificar cuáles son las distintas concepciones de la ciudadanía ecológica asociadas a cada uno de ellos y los distintos mecanismos e instituciones usados para promoverlas. Aunque el Estado verde ofrece muchas posibilidades para la promoción de la ciudadanía ecológica, persisten algunos de los problemas relacionados con los enfoques de la ciudadanía centrados en el Estado, por lo que la discusión se traslada a espacios y actores fuera de las instituciones estatales. Esta parte de la investigación se inicia con la reflexión crítica en torno al concepto de esfera pública verde e indaga acerca de cómo se podría definir la ciudadanía ecológica en esta esfera. Dicho análisis concluye sugiriendo que se requiere una concepción de la esfera pública verde distinta de la que predomina en la literatura eco-política. Con esta finalidad, se ofrece una redefinición del concepto de esfera pública verde. Finalmente, tras distinguir entre esfera pública y sociedad civil, se examinan las posibilidades de cultivar la ciudadanía ecológica en la sociedad civil.Keele University (Reino Unido)Dobson, Andrew (Keele University)2011text (thesis)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaites?codigo=209023engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
