“…Others have highlighted the power relations that can take place within participatory projects, identifying symbolic power as self‐perpetuating. Such agencies or individuals who have power at the early stages of a project are likely to still hold that power as the project progresses 28 .

“…Another very crucial purpose of CBPR is to organize and use the acquired knowledge in advancing social change and improve public health [66,68]. The overarching goal of CBPR is to divest power and ensure equity with regards to participation throughout the entire process from project planning to execution [69][70][71]. Research suggests that in recent years, vast public health issues in community settings have been addressed by unified groups, organizations of concerned citizens and institutional partners [72].…”

Delivering Environmental Justice through Environmental Impact Assessment in the United States: The Challenge of Public Participation

The United States (US) occupies the frontline of events in modern history of environmental reform. The federal government through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970 has not only established an environmental policy template for other nations to emulate, but has also produced a viable tool for regulating environmental quality (EQ) and delivering environmental justice (EJ)-Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). However, environmental history provides evidence that political process and special interests govern the attainment of the EJ goal by way of inadequate adherence to the NEPA provisions. Public participation (PP) is a principal requirement for achieving EJ and constitutes a pivotal determinant of EIA outcome. Effective delivery of EJ through EIA does require complete compliance with NEPA stipulations. Furthermore, the responsible agency's resources in terms of both funding and commitment in allowing for the full representation of the opinions of residents within communities of concern (CoC) for environmental decision-making process are critically important. Public health research approach offers valuable tools towards achieving EJ goals. To approach this topic, first I provide a historical background on EIA and EJ from the standpoint of the NEPA. Second, I discuss the meaning and impediments of PP. Third, I examine two scenarios viz the Triassic Park Hazardous Waste Dump in Roswell, and the public hearing of the recent "controversial" oil and gas ordinance in Sandoval County, both in New Mexico. Finally, in the discussion part, I attempt to evaluate PP in both cases and suggest that none of the criteria seem to have been met in either case. I conclude that the Home State Rule designation of New Mexico State in terms of control over oil and gas activities places it at an advantage in benefitting from a fair PP.

“…This is a research approach that integrates the expertise of the scholar/researcher with local level (indigenous) expertise for the purpose of sociocultural change, political engagement and economic development. While on the face of it, PAR seems simple to apply, its implementation generates all sorts of contradictions that must be resolved in-context and in-process, as research and action is carried out (Hampshire, Hills, and Iqbal 2005). This is not surprising since this is what most of us do during fi eldwork.…”

Anthropology in Action

What if we use theory and method to benefi t the people we study and with whom we partner to develop an increasingly just world in which inequities are reduced and all people may believe in their ability to reach their potentials by having access to resources that are more or less equally available, distributed and accessible? Each in her or his way, the contributors to this 'Special Issue on Public Anthropology' provide example trajectories which move anthropologists in this direction.
