In 1992, the New York City Council voted a waste management plan which called for the building of a giant incinerator in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and an extensive recycling program to help reduce New York's waste. The vote was the outcome of intense brokering. For more than a decade, the plan had been held up by political conflict pitting city officials against environmentalists and community groups. The case-study which chronicles the decision-making process demonstrates how grassroots lobbying was ultimately defeated and evaluates whether the current disjunction between the formal requirements of citizen participation and political representation and the informal power structure of the « urban regime » does not pose a threat to the democratic nature of the global city.
