Failed decision-making processes involving the public, environmental risks, and technology present a persistent societal problem that has proven to be very complex and difficult to resolve. Distrust is a particularly important and under-researched component of these failures. This dissertation contributes to the theoretical debate about the nature, function, and dynamics of trust-distrust in environmental risk-related decision-making through the analysis of a specific case: low-level radioactive waste management in three Ontario communities. In particular, this research is grounded in the experience of these communities with an innovative federal initiative (Cooperative Siting Process (CSP), 1986-1996) that aimed to resolve the historical impasse in decision-making about the management of these wastes via an improved process. The CSP followed several failed efforts, commenced in an atmosphere of distrust, and, ultimately, failed because of distrust.

520 $a Failed decision-making processes involving the public, environmental risks, and technology present a persistent societal problem that has proven to be very complex and difficult to resolve. Distrust is a particularly important and under-researched component of these failures. This dissertation contributes to the theoretical debate about the nature, function, and dynamics of trust-distrust in environmental risk-related decision-making through the analysis of a specific case: low-level radioactive waste management in three Ontario communities. In particular, this research is grounded in the experience of these communities with an innovative federal initiative (Cooperative Siting Process (CSP), 1986-1996) that aimed to resolve the historical impasse in decision-making about the management of these wastes via an improved process. The CSP followed several failed efforts, commenced in an atmosphere of distrust, and, ultimately, failed because of distrust.
520 $a The results of this research, based on informal interviews, archival research, and in-depth, semi-structured interviews of key participants, suggest that the emergence of distrust during the CSP was less related to the design of the decision-making process than to the way in which the process was supported administratively and managed on a day-to-day basis; the fact that it became enmeshed and indistinguishable from existing structures that promoted and maintained distrust; the way that management issues triggered the re-emergence of historical distrust, which proved to be a powerful obstacle to trust-building; and unresolved community concerns about risk and its management. Further, this research suggests that distrust emerges according to a process and the factors of importance (e.g., commitment, care) differ for each stage. The distrust judgments made during decision-making processes varied in this case from simple to complex, where the latter involved multiple factors and the interplay of various types of distrust, e.g., macro, micro, historical. The maintenance of historical distrust was accomplished within these communities, in part, via the telling of oral histories.
