Abstract:

This paper present the results of the Engaging the Disenfranchised project, conducted by United Nations University, Institute of Advanced Studies, which will conclude in December 2004. The Disenfranchisement project examines the problems and questions surrounding the participation of both delegates from developing nations and civil society actors in international governance processes for sustainable development. The investigation distinguishes between the policy challenges facing these two sets of actors, but posits that the participation and influence in international governance of both groups is a necessary prerequisite to achieve the goals of sustainable development. The project investigates a number of different types of actors, from indigenous peoples to business groups, the dynamics of their participation, and the obstacles and challenges of engaging in international policymaking. A number of different models for engagement-including the Aarhus Convention and the Financing for Development Process-are also analyzed. The findings and recommendations presented in the paper will be based on the project's research as well as a meeting of practitioners and academics hosted at the International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis in Summer 2004.
