| Sumario: | As a democratic aspiration, citizen participation is not safe within the framework of representative democracy, nor in the context of plural society or organized civil society, with its inevitable burden of political and socioeconomic inequality of actors and the exclusion of un-organized citizens. If the broad participation of the social base is sought, then it is necessary to stimulate the social base; not as a starting point but as the main goal. Participant democracy is possible, but it requires careful institutional design, with clear rules and procedures, strong political will and a favorable social environment. Seen as a public objective policy, participant democracy will promote a vast social base participation. |
