摘要
This paper brings together two disparate but critical bodies of literature about contemporary citizen participation in the Australian city: transport politics and post-politics. The argument is advanced that state and citizen actor relationsas they exist in the governance and management of Australian urban transporthave taken on characteristics of post-politics. By conceiving of citizen participation in this manner, new ways of understanding it are generated and it is possible to appreciate how such participation is shaped by state actors both across time and in response to the politicisation of transport proposals. The paper illustrates the extent to which citizen engagement has become a new focal point in transport politics, particularly given citizens' capacities to politicise proposals and transport trajectories. It achieves such ends by drawing upon key-informant interviews conducted between 2013 and 2016 with public transport advocates, select resident groups, and local and state level planning officials from Melbourne, Australia.
