Abstract

Abstract: Largescale nature conservation programs such as European ecological network Natura 2000 tend to fuel local conservation conflicts due to perceived unbalance between costs and benefits, lack of recognition and representation of residents in the decision-making process concerning policy implementation and management. This study considers Fraser's critical model of political justice to understand how residents construct N2000 justice and discuss the potential implications for the political framing of N2000 conflicts. The novelty of this approach lies in that it embraces various components within the three justice domains: distribution, recognition, representation, to shed light on N2000 conflicts and highligh justice as a way to legitimize N2000 policy.
