	Participatory politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Parpolity or Participatory Politics is a theoritical political system proposed by Stephen R. Shalom, professor of political science at William Paterson University in New Jersey.
		Shalom has stated that Parpolity is meant as a long range vision of where the social justice movement might want to end up, within the field of politics.
		To address this problem Parpolity suggests a system of nested councils, which would include every adult member of a given society.

		In ParPolity, on the other hand, because people's incomes are roughly equal (varying only by effort, which precludes any substantial inequality) an individual's spending on trying to convince others to his or her point of view will be roughly proportional to intensity of preference.
		But in ParPolity each delegate is personally known to her or his constituents: the group of 20-50 people who decided to send her or him to the next higher level council.
		But in ParPolity each delegate personally knows her or his constituents: for the delegate is one of the 20-50 people who make up the next lower-level council.

	Participatory democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grassroots democracy is an alternative term that has actually been used to imply almost any combination of the above.
		Participatory politics or Parpolity is a long-range political theory that also incorporates many of the above and strives to create a political system that will allow people to participate in politics, as much as possible in a face-to-face manner.
		However, it avoids the concept of demos or the people having a single view with the inevitable limitations that come from trying to agree what that view is. It also avoids the expectations that attach to anything called democracy.

		He therefore manages to keep economies of scale, and keep production high (he is an economist after all), but at the price (again, for which he is often chastised), of a humungous amount of organising.
		ParPolity, for example, involves "nested councils", each of which consisting of a small number of members, each of whom electing a representative to attend the next tier of meetings in groups of the same number, and so on up.
		Whilst this manages to keep production high, and he furthermore emphasizes several checks to keep the processes nicely democratic and accountable to those that they are making decisions for, one can't help but wonder if it could be done with less paperwork.

		Parpolity leans more towards simply having the delegate be cycled, organically recallable, etc. And special delegates with expertise can be nominated for complex issues.
		Yes, but they almost excluslvely rely on a position they can be elected to so they no longer need to ride the wave of mob support.
		Parpolity deals with the questions at length: Appeals can be done by lower councils, higher councils or a separate judicial system.

	Economic Structure and Social Structure \| atopian.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		To take two examples, Marx favored this distinction very heavily, and argued that the economic structure determines the social structure.
		The inhabitants of Znet (broad generalisation here!) divide the blueprint into ParEcon (Participatory economics) and Parpolity (Participatory politics).
		The distinction does indeed make a great deal of sense when understanding the world, and even features to some extent on the compass I drew (25/03/05) - there appear to be social hierarchies and economic hierarchies.

	Left Turn: Notes from the Global Intifada
		Stephen Shalom, among others, has tackled the task of outlining political vision in a participatory polity, or a parpolity for short.
		He argues that a good polity should produce solidarity not anti-sociality and should value and generate diversity rather than homogenizing options.
		Insofar as a political vision exists, perhaps a refined formulation of parpolity as described by Shalom, what implications should it have for present day political strategy, which is to say, for engaging with the state?

	SmartAmerican - Viewing Noam Chomsky - Anarchy - Co-operation Without Restriction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This interview features prominently in Joshua Cohen and Joel Rogers' sympathetic critique of Chomsky's anarchism ("Knowledge, Morality and Hope", _New Left Review_, 1990).
		No doubt it also influenced Michael Albert and Robin Hahnel's ParEcon and Stephen Shalom's ParPolity, which to some degree answer the criticisms of Cohen and Rogers.
		All of these repay careful attention for those thinking about alternatives to the present order, though in my view all such thinking must now urgently grapple with the coming end of industrialism as the world passes it's all time fossil fuel peak.

		Thinkers who have influenced my basic views of the world over the years include Noam Chomsky, Ferrel Christensen and G.A. Wells.
		I've long been interested in the potential for participatory planning mechanisms (such as ParEcon and ParPolity), and with my new awareness of the challenges of Peak Oil I continue to hope that these might offer something of value to a post-fossil fuel world, reworked to correct for the advanced-industrialist biases of their original authors.
		Regarding industrialism itself, I hope that the bicycle and various forms of pedal and treadle technology can survive and even flourish in the future, something that I think depends on society's willingness to voluntarily leave behind much of the rest of the industrialist project.
