Responsible research and innovation (RRI) has affirmed the value of 'inclusion' and 'responsiveness' as institutional virtues necessary to ensure that reflexivity towards the social priorities behind innovation processes is made possible. It is argued that this affirmation links RRI to knowledge politics in other domains (e.g. environmental justice and the politics of development). It is suggested that lessons regarding inclusion and responsiveness can be drawn from these domains, focusing on the ways in which marginalised perspectives on need and vulnerability, once articulated, can help reconstitute the public sphere in which social priorities are defined. Three case studies are used to explore how entanglements of needs, vulnerabilities, identity and agency are vital to understanding the impacts of innovation and change more generally. It is argued that social science methodologies sensitised to such entanglements are necessary to help constitute a space of inclusion and responsiveness characterised, not by assumptions about idealised rational forms of deliberation, but by styles of communication that recognise vulnerability.

“…For this reason, meaningful analyses of participation need to address not only the structures and processes through which participation takes place, but also the broad political contexts that place pressure on participants and significantly shape the participation process (Peterson et al forthcoming). It is of special importance here how the issue of larger ideological configurations set the stage for the construction and use of local meanings (Cooke and Kothari 2001;Kothari 2001;Mohan 2001;Taddei and Gamboggi 2009)-that is, for how participants understand the goals and preferred forms of participation and hence act (or don't) accordingly. A large number of analyses of social participation in natural resources management adopt a structural approach, where the building blocks of participation are tested in different circumstances in the search for conditions where optimal outcomes can be produced (in efficiency or in empowerment-e.g.…”

Watered-down democratization: modernization versus social participation in water management in Northeast Brazil

This article examines social participation in water management in the Jaguaribe Valley, state of Ceará, Northeast Brazil. It argues that participatory approaches are heavily influenced by the general ideological and symbolic contexts in which they occur, that is, by how participants understand (or misunderstand) what is taking place, and associate specific meanings to things and events. An analysis of these symbolic factors at work sheds light on the potentialities of and limitations on participatory experiences not accounted for in usual structural analyses. In the particular case of Ceará, this article describes how the idea of modernization, which is so pervasive in the ways economic development is presented in Brazil, provides a frame against which other meanings are constructed. In water management arenas, the presentation of participation as an aspect of the general modernization of the state has reorganized meanings and delegitimized some forms of knowledge and economic activities to the detriment of others. As a result, the promotion of equality through participation lost a great deal of efficacy, and this state of affairs provided some degree of social validation for asymmetries in participatory decision making processes.
