Democracy is hailed around the world as the highest form of political organisation. However, transparency, accountability, and participation, key to a functioning democracy, has globally come under increasing threat. With rising statelessness across the world, the concept of citizenship itself is now under question. Unpacking Participatory Democracy offers some ‘inclusive’ approaches to the ideas of development and democracy. This volume brings together a range of practitioners who have spent decades building organisations and collectives that engage with the practice of democracy, in pursuit of equality and justice. Together, they explore the realities of democratic practice, and combine theoretical perspectives with empirical case studies.
