how citizens contribute in making a better democracy?
Answers
Answer: The more people who participate in a democracy, the more democratic it becomes – or so de Tocqueville believed. But sceptics have challenged that assumption on the basis that not everyone has the skills to make informed political decisions. In his new book, Russell J Dalton (University of California, Irvine) argues that the problem lies with the participation gap: the better-off are more engaged in policy, while the poorest vote less and lack the resources to lobby for change.
When WGI and ADB indicators of governance talk about good governance, they lay considerable emphasis on Transparency and Accountability. Both these are not attainable unless citizens participate in governance process. In large democracies, direct participation of citizens in the governance process poses a big challenge on account of large populations, even in small pockets. Illiteracy, political naivety, and insufficient mechanisms to incorporate citizen participation pose further challenges.
