Q. Which of the following statements best describes “Participatory democracy”?
Answer: C
Notes:
Pluralist democracy is a model of democracy in which no one group dominates politics and organized groups compete with each other to influence policy.
Elite democracy is a model of democracy in which a small number of people, usually those who are wealthy and well-educated, influence political decision making.
Participatory democracy is not the same as direct democracy, in which citizens are directly responsible for making policy decisions.
