Participation throughout the decades: how the zeitgeist influencesboth theory and practise

Journal Contribution - Journal Article Conference Contribution

Subtitle:A case study
“Participation” is the cornerstone of democracy, applauded by virtually everyone. The multitude of definitions and interpretations given to participation however leads to difficulties in translating the concept into practice. These difficulties exist as participation is often dismissed as an infinite, intrinsic aspect of a society and merely used as a means to an end. Participation changes with the zeitgeist in which it is framed. This evolution is researched for this article and placed in relation to participation in Vietnam using the case of a Locally Managed Marine Area.
