The participation of society is the cornerstone of the idea of modern
citizenship. Thus، cooperative democracy in which citizens participate directly
in the conduct of their public affairs allows direct participation in the
formulation of public policies, thus transforming the citizen from a passive one
with the right to vote to a positive one who participates in decision-making. A
successful democracy is based on continuous and reciprocal dialogue between
the various groups and interests in society about major decisions and executive
steps. This would contribute to finding good and effective governments that
contribute to enhancing social welfare by creating good relations between
citizens and building a conscious society characterized by the spirit of the
group، and involving them in the process of decision-making and respecting
diversity the society.
