Abstract
Risk is the dominant frame for the European Union’s (EU’s) growing albeit often overlooked public health governance. The starting point for this chapter is the distortion of public health priorities by and within this frame. I argue that existing efforts to identify, underline and tackle the distortions can be strengthened by reframing governance as a matter of citizenship so as to develop citizen participation in decision making. The chapter therefore seeks to add to discussion on EU citizenship within this collection and beyond, which focuses on judicial discourse on inter alia rights, responsibilities, needs and entitlements. The chapter not only raises awareness of but also offers a novel proposal for mobilising the discursive potential of key elements of citizenship for participation.
