W artykule omówiono kwestię demokracji partycypacyjnej w Polsce, a także modele zarządzania stosowane przez administrację publiczną. Autorki postawiły tezę, że stopień partycypacji obywateli w rządzeniu i zarządzaniu publicznym jest zdecydowanie niewystarczający. Coraz więcej środowisk domaga się zwiększenia wpływu obywateli na kształt polityk publicznych, w tym również na poziomie lokalnym. Wysuwane są różnorodne propozycje zmian prawnych i organizacyjnych, które miałyby zwiększyć udział członków wspólnot samorządowych we wpływaniu na ich rozwój. W tekście zaprezentowano autorską koncepcję partnerstwa lokalnego – partnerstwa łączącego władze publiczne, organizacje obywatelskie, przedsiębiorców i aktywnych obywateli w procesie programowania i wdrażania publicznych programów rozwoju oraz rozwiązywania lokalnych problemów. Co istotne, Autorki proponują rozwiązania, które umożliwiałyby uzyskiwanie przez partnerstwa osobowości prawnej.

Liberal Democratic Party is occupying a dominant position in this system. The LDP has been in power since 1955, except for a brief period in 1993 and 2009, when the party was deprived of power because of electoral defeats. In remaining elections, the party has been achieving victories and thanks to that the LDP gained an absolute majority in the parliament and could self-govern. The LDP should be considered as a conservative political power, realizing the neoliberal program in the economy. Among the reasons for the dominance of the party, particular attention should be paid to the fact that it bases on the rural electorate and that the electoral system works to its advantage
