Abstract
Since the 1970s participatory democracy has been a catchword for genuine, popular or progressive democratization. Since then the general climate has changed in several respects. How is participatory democracy now being conceived and reconceived? To contextualize this question I first consider ongoing discussions of democracy and democratization generally, and then zero in on participatory democracy and its various current meanings. Participatory democracy is now usually thought of, rather than as wholesale system change, in partial reforms, particularly decentralization and politics of empowerment. I conclude by offering dark and light scenarios of the future significance of participatory democratization.
