    The European experience in transitioning from representative democracy to participatory democracy has always been a natural transformation of a long political process. As a result of the failure of the first stage, the role of the citizen in the representative institutions of society has been marked and the political process has shifted towards bridging the gap between political society and civil society. , As a form of the desire for political contracting between the state and society, which proved the shortcomings and imbalances in the orientation of representative democracy, and its limited in translating the various aspirations of the community groups to participate in making the map of comprehensive development.
    It is not easy for the European community to reach this new approach. If the society did not produce an active and knowledge-based citizenship culture, it would rely on renewable approaches and channels of open communication to involve the various actors economically, socially and culturally as key components in achieving comprehensive development. Vital to the various social groups, by mobilizing the efforts of all parties by the state, which waives the role of executor of decisions and projects to the role of activator and the process.

    Activating participatory

    In order to activate the participatory principle, the Hawkamah Center for Public Studies organized a training workshop for the definition of participatory democracy. The director of the center, Montasser Al-Eidani, said, "In cooperation with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, we held a workshop to train civil society activists to introduce this type of democracy."
    "There is still a clear gap between local governments and civil society and their organizations, which is causing a slow pace in finding suitable solutions for the citizen through his applications in ways that are far from the official."
    "The aim of these activities is to activate the participatory process in local governments and we are trying to strengthen the bonds through the activation of democracy of this kind," said Eidani.
    There are serious attempts in Iraq to bring about a new development in the representative democracy that controls the system of government, to the partnership that is still the subject of discussion of the possibility and how to apply it under the party. And the political sectarianism that governs Iraq.

    Means of compression

    For his part, Dr. Khalid Al-Jubouri explained that "the benefit of these experiences to society is to pressure those in power to hear the views of these people, as well as the means of education and the definition of the concept of rights and duties to the authorities of the State that provides them services."
    While the participants expressed optimism about the mechanisms of transition and exit from the cage of representative democracy governing Iraq since 2003, to the convergence and discussion of all views through civil society organizations.
    Others considered that there is a big gap between the Authority and the people, which needs a great effort to fill it or at least reduce it, through new mechanisms and can benefit from the experiences of the countries that participated in this experiment, including Morocco and the European Union.
    Some pointed to the importance of involving academics, media professionals and intellectuals in discussing decisions and informing them of the mechanism of implementation to gain more confidence in local governments and to benefit from all the experiences in the management of state institutions.

    Open Doors Policy

    During the workshop, Professor of Political Science at the University of Baghdad Riyad Al-Zubaidi talked about the new mechanisms of modernization of representative democracy, and Zubaidi that the multiplicity of mechanisms that embody the principle of participation in decision-making and the difference in terms of the degree of impact and the basis of participation in it. The policy of open doors included the right of citizens to know inputs and outputs Projects and decisions and follow-up implementation, and this policy depends on mechanisms that countries that try to apply this shift in political systems to rely on several options are the most important:

    The referendum

    The referendum is guaranteed by the right to associate all citizens (eligible to vote) without exception.
    Joint decision making
    The group takes the local government and citizens joint decisions on some issues and can take the decision in two ways:

    • Joint production

    • Delegation


    Consultation

    Through the opening of channels of dialogue with citizens and the local government can agree on one of the proposals submitted by them.
    The Center's team tries to be a solid base for this model in the management of the state, whether at the local level or the two centers for change in the political systems that govern the country, through the dissemination of participatory culture in the provinces, especially those that constitute a pressure sheet on the current leaders. Finished / Kh.
