Özet:

Since today almost all governments are trying to explain themselves with democracy, the importance of examining the representative democracy model, which is the most common form of democracy, is clearly revealed. In this context, the problem of work is the approach that today’s representative democracy model is faced with many problems arising from the implementation, and therefore has become largely functional, and that these problems can largely be eliminated by the participatory democracy model. The main objective of working on this issue is to identify the problems arising from the implementation of the representative democracy model, which is widely applied worldwide, and to examine the extent to which these problems can be addressed by the participative democracy model. In the study, first and foremost, the literary scan method represents the concept of democracy and the problem areas arising from the practice. Participating democracy, which is the fundamental element of participating democracy, is subsequently discussed as a proposal for political participation and a new model. The findings of the study show that although it is criticized in some aspects, the participatory democracy model largely solves the problems arising from representative democracy and gives representative democracy a significant functionality.
