Participatory democracy calls for the creation and proliferation of
practices and institutions that enable individuals and groups to
better determine the conditions in which they act and relate to
others. Michael Menser's timely book We Decide! is arguably the
most comprehensive treatment of participatory democracy. He
explains the three waves of participatory democracy theory to show
that this movement is attentive to the mechanics of contemporary
political practices. Menser also outlines "maximal democracy," his
own view of participatory democracy that expands people's abilities
to shape their own lives, reduce inequality, and promote
solidarity. We Decide! draws on liberal, feminist, anarchist, and
environmental justice philosophies as well as in-depth case studies
of Spanish factory workers, Japanese housewives, and Brazilian
socialists to show that participatory democracy actually works.
Menser concludes his study by presenting a reconstructed version of
the state that is shaped not by corporations but by inclusive
communities driven by municipal workers, elected officials, and
ordinary citizens working together. In this era of Bernie Sanders
and Donald Trump, the participatory democracy proposed in We
Decide! is more significant than ever.
