Description
  • We present a story of a double turn: first, the turn toward deliberative procedures orchestrated by the implementer; this turn came after the initial period of expert driven decision making had led to public protests and failed. Second, we describe a turn back toward more authoritative and technocratic decision making after several-years long attempt at %22technical democracy%22, to use this famous term (Callon, Lascoumes & Barthe 2009), did not bring expected results quickly enough. While the former kind of turn appears relatively frequently in literature, the latter does not seem to be discussed too often - although similar failures may not be so rare. We want to show that a misunderstanding about the meaning of the notion of %22socio-technical%22 can be seen behind the described double turn. Socio-technical, at least as far as its STS origin implies, does not mean simply just adding a list of %22social issues%22 to the technical agenda. Instead (and in accordance to the work done within STS), the notion of socio-technical refers to analytical determination to approach and understand social and technical processes together, as a single network, i.e., going hand in hand, inseparably (i.e., Callon 1991; Latour 1991 and elsewhere). Something like this, of course, is hard to translate into policy practices and formalized public involvement - which is valid even more for policy cultures that have remained practically untouched by %22the emerging interest in scientific citizenship today and multiple new forms of public participation in science and technology%22 and in which scientific expertise still very much enjoys the status of politically neutral authority, external to societal life. In a way, we are convinced that the siting process in the Czech Republic has fallen victim to the simplified understanding of what %22socio-technical%22 means for technical democracy in the making.
