En primer lugar, se ilustran los argumentos que permiten perfilar la democracia ecológica como una democracia deliberativa. La parte central del artículo examina la teoría de la democracia ecológica de Robyn Eckersley, e indaga las diferencias más significativas entre este modelo y la democracia liberal. La visión de Eckersley es puesta en relación tanto con la teoría política ecológica como con las principales tendencias en el estudio de la democracia deliberativa. Finalmente, se introduce como contrapunto el esquema de John Dryzek. Este análisis me permite demostrar que la propuesta de Eckersley privilegia al Estado en tanto que actor protagonista de la democracia ecológica. Dicho enfoque, sugiero, plantea problemas para la propia democracia ecológicaCentro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales2013text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4527782(Revista) ISSN 0048-7694Revista de estudios políticos, ISSN 0048-7694, Nº 162, 2013, pags. 175-198spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
