| Abstract: | Participation has become very popular as a new strategy and approach in research, in policy, in private and public affairs.
As an alternative to top-down approaches participation promises to empower people, to acknowledge and to build competence
and (local) knowledge, to recognise and to be responsive to people’s different and differentiated needs and interests. The
difference participation promises to make concerns above all an engagement with questions of difference. |
