</div>Whenever I need a definition, I use:<br>
<br>
<br>
The study and practice of forms of participatory democracy that allow<br>
for all those who have a stake and who have the inclination, to<br>
participate on equal footing in the deliberation of issues and the<br>
recommendation of solutions. While final decisions and implementation<br>
may be assigned to a single stakeholder group, these decision makers are<br>
always accountable to all of the stakeholders for their decisions and<br>
the implementations.<br>
<br>
It is just hard to live up to, and each of the words in the definition<br>
need to be defined as well. But it is my working definition.<br>
