Talk:Participation

Overlap between participation articles
I was looking at the articles on participation, and I noticed that they are not very coordinated and they overlap quite a bit. I'm not suggesting any particular mergers at this point, although that might be a solution. I do think the articles should be clearer about their distinctions.

Here are some "main" participation articles:


 * Participatory democracy
 * Grassroots democracy
 * Public participation
 * Public consultation
 * Participation (decision making)
 * Participative decision making (seems to be focused on management)
 * Group decision making (not necessarily involving participation)

And some specific varieties that could be better coordinated:


 * Participatory management
 * Participatory economics
 * Participatory budgeting
 * Participatory planning

Feel free to add to these lists, and offer any suggestions for improvements. Thanks! MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 16:21, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
