Too often, participation as practiced by parties anxious to demonstrate their willingness and their modernity to the face of sfogatoio with assemblies are characterized by a general confusionism. Instead, you must get out of this mystification of popular sovereignty, and at the same time totally deconstruct popular sovereignty based on delegation. Need to transform the level of participation in pre-political right to democracy. Indeed, we can borrow the principles of the European Convention of Aarhus - the law of the State since 2001. The Convention, through the institution of participation, reduces the discretion of the political and administrative choices, forcing institutions to take into account instances of participation and to argue in greater detail their own decisions.
