Abstract
The social participation of human beings and the term used for participants have changed through time. First, it was civil society, later citizenship, and currently social actor. Each concept has implied larger involvements, as rational and reflexive beings, in environmental issues. Today, social actors have become key figures for the governance of ecological systems. In this chapter we discuss the social actor concept and its relationship with environmental governance.
