[more] This article aims to explore whether procedural rights and administrative law mechanisms – such as, for example, the right to a hearing, the duties to provide a reasoned decision and to disclose relevant information – can enhance the accountability and democratic legitimacy of earth system governance. The democracy-enhancing potential of such mechanisms and rights – which in the national context have proved to be beneficial in strengthening citizens' participation and the acceptance of decisions – can be limited in the global arena, by a number of factors. One of these factors is “legal imperialism”, understood as the grafting onto the global level rules and institutions that impose the hegemony of western values. In fact, administrative law mechanisms, being a construct of a certain type of western, liberal model of the state (and its capitalist model of development), could be perceived, in developing countries as an instrument to reproduce the dominant position of advanced industrialized countries and their economic actors. The analysis suggests that in order to realize their democracy-enhancing potential, these mechanisms should draw, as far as possible, on cross-cultural principles, and be supported by financial and technical instruments enabling “developing countries” and marginalized groups to engage in dialog with the most powerful actors.

[more] This paper aims briefly to illustrate some major findings of an ongoing research project on the role of global administrative law in Earth system governance. The primary aim is to explore whether administrative-law type mechanisms, such as the right to a hearing, the duties to provide a reasoned decision and to disclose relevant information, could enhance the accountability and democratic legitimacy of Earth system governance. The democracy-enhancing potential of such administrative-law type mechanisms - which in the national context have proved to be beneficial in strengthening citizens’ participation and the acceptance of decisions - can be limited in the global arena, by a number of factors. One of these factors is “legal imperialism”, understood as the grafting onto the global plane of rules and institutions that impose the hegemony of western values. As a matter of fact, administrative-law type mechanisms, being a construct of a certain type of Western, liberal model of State (and its capitalist model of development), could be perceived, in the Southern and Eastern hemispheres of the Earth, as an instrument to reproduce the dominant position of “developed” countries. The analysis suggests that in order to realize their global democracy-enhancing potential, administrative-law type mechanisms should draw on universal principles and cross-cultural values and be supported by financial and technical instruments enabling “developing” countries and marginalized groups to engage in dialogue with the most powerful actors. By drawing on the current debate concerning the democratic quality of global governance and focusing on specific cases related to the flagship activities of the Earth system governance project, this paper investigates whether, and under which conditions, the adoption of administrative-law type mechanisms could lead to more democratic Earth system governance. The ambition is to contribute to a better understanding of the interactions between theoretical developments and practical implications of a pluralistic approach to democratic Earth system governance.
