Abstract
One of the most common terms in the literature on environmental policy is that of “stakeholder.” Here we argue that the term suffers from a number of serious conceptual and practical defects. We develop a model of the “stakeholder game” in which stakeholders must be engaged in a game of reason giving. The essence of the stakeholder game is not to establish what is factual or true. Rather, the stakeholder game is concerned with particular self-appointed “experts” to appear before officials in an effort to persuade. The truth of stakeholder claims is irrelevant. We here examine the logic of participation and prerequisites of the meaningful game of asking for and giving reasons. We elaborate the nature and significance of three components—the game, the pleadings, and the reasons. We conclude by offering the conditions under which the stakeholder game might be considered legitimate.
