Since the early 1990s, German environmental policies have been characterized by a broad range of alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as, for instance, ‘mediation’ and ‘risk dialogue’. Based on the ethics of discourse, developed by German social theorist Habermas, they are designed to solve problems in risk management caused by citizen protest. However, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) failed rather often in environmental issues. Based on a ‘risk society’ perspective, this paper presents a systematic argument for the empirical problems of discursive dispute regulation. End‐of‐pipe practical discourse is not suitable for dealing with questioned expert knowledge claims, problems of unawareness and manufactured uncertainties, central to regulation conflicts in risk society. This calls for an earlier public engagement via discourse, focusing on scientific and technological research and development agendas, as well as replacing traditional risk management with management of uncertainties and unawareness.

Cooperative planning instruments have become more and more important in European environmental policies. Besides experts and acknowledged interest groups, who usually dominate decision‐making processes, these instruments provide the possibility to also include non‐professionals, affected citizens and conflict parties in these processes. Environmental mediation, which is one of the widely discussed cooperative methods, is increasingly used, especially in Germany. Hence some basic questions that arise in connection with environmental mediation and that relate to the role of institutions as well as to democratic theory will be tackled by presenting a case study from the region of Berlin. Cooperative procedures such as environmental mediation can be regarded as an adequate approach to developing governance capacities. Considering the high potential for conflict in environmental planning processes, cooperative procedures provide a new institutional framework, which is oriented towards the requirements of constructive conflict management. The case study shows that cooperative procedures such as environmental mediation also provide an institutional framework for social learning processes in civil society. The challenge for the future is to make sure that these cooperative procedures achieve political legitimacy by interlinking them with representative parliamentary decision‐making processes.
