“…This ability to balance itself between autonomy and coherence may turn these mechanism in effective forms of coordination within modern complex and polycentric societies (Mascareño, 2010;Willke, 2016). In the face of global and wicked menaces such as climate change, the State cannot act either as an authoritarian planner or as a mere subsidiary regulator for the market.…”

“…While such deliberation may tend toward consensus, more often it limits itself to balancing competing perspectives in order to reach some relatively stable compromise around a shared goal (Mascareño, 2010). Mostly, the participatory exercise can be described as a performative controversy aimed at progressively normalizing meanings, identities, interests and reciprocal relations among the different actors involved around jointly constructed frames which are always at risk of being "overflowed" and opened up to further controversy (Callon et al, 2009).…”

Participatory Energy Transitions as Boundary Objects: The Case of Chile's Energía2050

et al. 2018

This paper analyzes the use of "participatory futures" within the context of energy transition, paying special attention to the case of Chile's long-term energy policy. Our main aim is to question the role of "participation" in such a context and particularly, to decouple the operative function of participation from its normative function. Structurally, we argue that the construction of a joint vision of desired energy futures must be understood as a deliberate attempt at governing the energy transition by way of governing the expectations of the actors and systems involved in it. Participatory approaches can promote the co-construction of such energy futures in the form of a boundary-object, able to resonate with and provide a common reference to the actors participating in its creation. On the other hand, participatory approaches can also be a way to make transitions more democratic, subjecting it to a broader influence and control from the citizenship. These two functions of "participation" are always potentially at odds with one another. Democratizing the transition, in fact, would require producing plural, dynamical imaginaries that are responsive and accountable to the public. On the contrary, the need to make transitions governable may close-up such imaginaries and narrow-down the participatory efforts to foster their normalization and acceptability on the part of the most influential actors in the self-government of the transition. To refine and exemplify our proposal, we perform a qualitative, exploratory case study of Chile's E2050 energy policy. Our findings show that "participation" may indeed have been used in the case to align partially conflicting expectations around a collectively-defined boundary object which may then act as a form of contextual, anticipatory and polycentric governance of the transition. However, from a democratic perspective, E2050 appears as a tokenization of the public in support of a pre-eminently technical and monolithic vision enacted by the Energy Ministry and the Consultative Committee. Within this context, the actual influence of the public on the policy and the possibility for political contestation are much more questionable.

“…Las dos principales características de la gestión hídrica en Chile son la comodificación del agua (Budds, 2009), y una fuerte centralización en la toma de decisiones (Mascareño, 2010). A continuación, analizaremos de qué manera estos dos aspectos inciden en la imposición de una visión tecnócrata en los procesos de toma de decisiones acerca de la gestión del agua y su escasez a lo largo del país, naturalizando al mismo tiempo las causas de la última.…”

Este articulo examina los orígenes sociales de la escasez de agua en la cuenca del rio Bueno, Chile. Se emplea el marco teórico de la ecología política para analizar la escasez hídrica como un fenómeno "híbrido" de carácter socionatural, destacando el desarrollo de un marco de "tipologías de escasez de agua". Utilizando una metodología mixta, analizamos datos hídricos cuantitativos y cualitativos para develar las tipologías de escasez de agua existentes, quién sufre de escasez hídrica y a qué factores se atribuye esta. Nuestros resultados demuestran la existencia de diversas tipologías de escasez de agua y que la escasez hídrica no afecta a todos los actores, hechos que revelan factores antrópicos en su producción. Concluimos que los orígenes de la escasez de agua son múltiples y que la gestión del agua en Chile ha priorizando las actividades económicas de alto interés nacional por sobre el agua para consumo humano. Palabras claves: Escasez de agua, ecología política, gestión de agua, plantaciones forestales, Chile.
