Participation (decision Making)
Citizen Participation or Public Participation in social science refers to different mechanisms for the Public consultation, public to express opinions—and ideally exert influence—regarding political, economic, management or other social decisions. Participatory decision-making can take place along any realm of human social activity, including Economy, economic (i.e. participatory economics), Politics, political (i.e. participatory democracy or parpolity), management (i.e. participatory management), Culture, cultural (i.e. polyculturalism) or Family, familial (i.e. feminism). For well-informed participation to occur, it is argued that some version of transparency (humanities), transparency, e.g. radical transparency, is necessary but not sufficient.

E-participation
Electronic participation (e-participation) is ICT-supported participation in processes involving government and citizens. Processes may concern administration, service delivery, decision making and policy making. E-participation is hence closely related to e-government and e-governance participation. The need for the term has emerged as citizen interests and interaction with political service providers have increasingly become digitized due to the rise of e-government. A more detailed definition sees e-participation as a process that enhances and deepens political participation and allows citizens to interact with one another as well as their elected representative through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). This definition includes all stakeholders in a democratic decision-making processes and not only citizen related top-down government initiatives. E-participation is largely a part of e-democracy, and heavily involves the use of ICT by governments, m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
