Abstract: This paper examines the quest for effective risk governance in a context of poly-crises. It highlights the importance of governance performativity in public decision-making processes, particularly in the context of complex crises such as climate disruption and resource scarcity. Whereas centralized approaches led by a charismatic leader were historically favored, participatory and deliberative models are now seen as more effective and legitimate ways of making decisions in the face of complex issues. However, the choice between representative and participative models remains open to debate, and there is a lack of research on their effectiveness and performativity. The paper also highlights the importance of evaluating decisions and processes to understand their real impact. By adopting a holistic and ecosystemic approach, risk governance aims to transcend anthropocentrism and take into account spatiality and temporality to ensure both the effectiveness and robustness of governance systems in the face of contemporary challenges.
