participation in politicsthe way out – from conflicts to participation– in developing democracies
from conflicts, protests to real, full direct participationRepresentatives in advanced representative democracies are used to work together, putting beside the problems of the outdated form of their political system (← the probem). They are also used to listen to the people, to talk with them.1 People in developing democracies,2 enjoying growing freedom, are looking for ways to more democracy.3 From their representatives they begin to demand to be fully and openly informed, more transparency,4 to be heard, listened to and talked with, more dialogue.5 No more enough is to cast a vote once in an election, and otherwise being kept away from politics. No more enough is the 'valuable asset' of protests, 'the valuable asset of the right to demonstrate',6 often invoked in underdeveloped democracies and keeping people away from politics, outside:
