This essay, written by Carole Pateman and translated to Persian by Tavaana, considers the participatory theory of democracy, which holds that for a democracy to exist, a participatory society must exist, including not only politics but all spheres of society, such as industry. Pateman, a British feminist and political theorist, critiques contemporary theories built on assumptions that increased political participation could upset the stability of the democratic system.
