This book is dedicated to citizen gendership in sustainable politics from partition to inclusion. Although citizen participation is regarded widely as vital to democracy, some wariness may also be observed towards it in cases where democracy is equated with representative democracy. Citizen participation is seen mainly as an instrument to strengthen and support the way representative democracy now works. A good democracy should enable citizens to optimize their political resources. Thus, we gave a start to this book with a question stemming from this understanding: Could sustainable development and public participation become an inclusive model of democracy? Then, we tried to explore what democracy is through citizen gendership in sustainable politics from
partition to inclusion.
