I haven't read your blog. But I always define multistakeholderism
(m17m) as a form of participatory democracy that builds on the
representative democracy that some few nations have put into effect
as well as the bottom-up organic coming together of stakeholders,
who sometime aggregate into stakeholder groups, on a particular
theme. I define it as a form of democracy somewhere between basic
representative democracy and full direct democracy.<br>
<br>
I think many other accept some form of the m17m is a form of
participatory democracy definition. So the frames of reference are
really quite different.<br>
