Participatory Politics

Participatory politics refers to ways in which individuals and communities engage actively in decision-making processes that affect their lives. It emphasizes direct involvement, such as civic discussions, local governance, and grassroots movements, allowing citizens to voice their opinions and influence policies. In the context of participatory democracy, this approach seeks to enhance democracy by ensuring that everyone has a say, rather than relying solely on elected representatives. By fostering active participation, it aims to create a more inclusive and responsive political environment where diverse perspectives are valued and collective solutions to societal issues are developed.
