Participation in social science is an umbrella term including different means for the public to directly participate in political, economic, management or other social decisions. Ideally, each actor would have a say in decisions directly proportional to the degree that particular decision affects him or her. Those not affected by a decision would have no say and those exclusively affected by a decision would have full say. Likewise, those most affected would have the most say while those least affected would have the least say. Participatory decision making infers a level of proportionate decision making power and can take place along any realm of human social activity, including economic (ie Participatory economics), political (ie Participatory democracy or parpolity), cultural (ie intercommunalism) or familial (ie Feminism). The term is used in management theory (as in "participatory management") to denote a style of management that calls for a high level of participation of workers and supervisors in decisions that affect their work. The term is also used in Participatory Economics or "parecon" as it is theorized and elaborated in that model. For well-informed participation to occur, some version of transparency, e.g. radical transparency, is necessary, but not sufficient. It has been suggested in the participatory economics model that for full and meaningful participation to exist, some form of Balanced job complex is necessary: self-confidence, empowerment and information must be equitably distributed. Sherry Arnstein discusses types of participation and "nonparticipation" in A Ladder of Citizen Participation (1969). She defines citizen participation as the redistribution of power that enables the havenot citizens, presently excluded from the political and economic processes, to be deliberately included in the future. Multiple other "ladders" of participation have been presented, most notably Connor's "A new ladder of citizen participation" (1988), Wiedemann and Femers' "Public Participation in waste management decision making: analysis and management of conflicts" (1993) and Dorcey et al. "Public Involvement in government decision making: choosing the right model" (1994) and Rocha's "A Ladder of Empowerment" (1997). From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What exactly is a participatory democracy? Q. there seems to be a lot of different definitions, but if anyone has a clear definition, i would greatly appreciate it. Asked by oaklandafan - Fri Sep 26 03:51:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Something Iraq has and we don't ... citizens who participate in their democracy. (80% + voter turnout in Iraq, less than 60% here) Democracy means literally "rule of the people" so therefore, if one does not chose to exercise their right to rule it isn't truly a democracy... so in a sense "participatory democracy" a redundant phrase. Here in the US we have a democratic Republic, meaning we vote for those who vote for us (President, Congress, legislatures, city council members what-have-you) We would only have a democracy if every person voted on every issue that went before Congress, and although with internet access that might be plausible in the near future, democracies tend to be nothing more than "mob rule" and oppressiveness by… [cont.] Answered by Charles K - Fri Sep 26 04:20:31 2008 What are some disadvantages of participatory democracies? Q. What are some disadvantages of participatory democracies? Asked by peachy_starz14 - Mon Mar 13 14:15:46 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. In part there must be an agreement as to what the term participatory democracy means. I believe that its meaning isn t the same for everyone. In the simplest meaning, all people of a given society are able to directly impact the acts and directions of the society. Certainly in a small society this can have merit. Say a community of 1,000 people get together for each decision and discuss it and vote. Even here though there will be decisions which must be made too quickly to get everyone together and some individuals will be selected to address those decisions. For example, will they all be the local sheriff and all participate in the decision making to decide when evidence dictates who is to be arrested or a traffic ticket issued? … [cont.] Answered by Randy - Mon Mar 13 16:49:49 2006 when was participatory note introduced in indian markets?
