In spite of the area's many natural and cultural assets, demographic homogeneity, and broad areas of commonality and agreement, this community has found it difficult to create a more diverse, just, and regenerative economy as the region's coal industry has declined. By applying concepts from the social constructivist and critical theory perspectives, the authors illuminate micro-level obstacles to democratic deliberation and evidence-based decision making, two factors that are necessary to create a more just and regenerative economy. As such, the article contributes to a long history of Appalachian studies scholarship that focuses on the democratic deficit and social trust and justice in Central Appalachia. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
