国民参加型民主制度

参加型民主制度又は参加型民主政治は諸国の政治が政策を進めて行くに巡り、より多く広くの選挙区民が政策に参加が出来る事を重用視する考えである。語源学の観点から民主主義を定義する時は（ギリシャデモスとクラトス）権力は民主に定められており、すべての民主制度は本質的に全員参加方式であるとも言える。しかしながら、実質的に現在の民主主義は代議制で社会の限られた代表者達が権力を持ち、　参加型民主制度はより多くの国民が政治問題に関心を持ち、異なる政策問題の代表的存在となり、伝統的な代議制な民主政治を覆す運動とも言える。

参加型民主制度はなるべく多くの民衆が国会の方針や政策その物に意味のある貢献が出来るような環境造りを重視する対策であり、民衆からより多くて多彩な人達が決議に貢献できるようにする。

Participatory democracy is a process emphasizing the broad participation of constituents in the direction and operation of political systems. Etymological roots of democracy (Greek demos and kratos) imply that the people are in power and thus that all democracies are participatory. However, participatory democracy tends to advocate more involved forms of citizen participation and greater political representation than traditional representative democracy.

Participatory democracy strives to create opportunities for all members of a population to make meaningful contributions to decision-making, and seeks to broaden the range of people who have access to such opportunities. Since so much information must be gathered for the overall decision-making process to succeed, technology may provide important forces leading to the type of empowerment needed for participatory models, especially those technological tools that enable community narratives and correspond to the accretion of knowledge. Effectively increasing the scale of participation, and translating small but effective participation groups into small world networks, are areas currently being studied.[1] Other advocates have emphasised the importance of face to face meetings, warning that an overreliance on technology can be harmful.[2]

Some scholars argue for refocusing the term on community-based activity within the domain of civil society, based on the belief that a strong non-governmental public sphere is a precondition for the emergence of a strong liberal democracy.[3] These scholars tend to stress the value of separation between the realm of civil society and the formal political realm.[4] In 2011, considerable grassroots interest in participatory democracy was generated by the Occupy movement.
