participatory
This term describes a shift in power dynamics, moving from a top-down hierarchy to a collaborative environment. It carries a strong connotation of inclusivity and democratic empowerment, suggesting that the value of a process is derived from the collective input of all stakeholders rather than the decision of a single authority figure.
In political and civic contexts, it specifically refers to direct engagement in governance. This distinguishes it from representative systems, as it emphasizes the actual act of participating in the decision-making process itself, such as in the case of community-led budgeting or grassroots planning.
