Participation (decision making)
From Freepedia
Participation in political science and theory of management is an umbrella term including different means for the public to directly participate in political, economical or management decisions.
For well-informed participation to occur, some version of transparency, e.g. radical transparency, is necessary, but not sufficient.
In Sherry Arnstein's article A Ladder of Citizen Participation she discusses types of participation and "nonparticipation" which she grades from Manipulation (least citizen participation) to Citizen Control (most citizen participation).
