LESSON

Inclusive Citizenship and Participatory Governance

Inclusive citizenship and participatory governance are an important part

of understanding what people, as citizens in society, can do to respond to the
challenging issues in today’s society.
 Inclusive citizenship refers to people’s understandings of what it means to
be a citizen go to the heart of the various meanings of personal and national identity,
political and electoral participation, and rights (Kabeer,2005).

The idea of inclusive citizenship, put forward by the state, gives citizens a
sense of belongingness in society. It fosters the idea that all citizens are included and
part of society regardless of their color, gender, religion, or socio-economic status.

In a democracy society, citizen participation in politics is encouraged.

However, this participation is sometimes contested. One of the leading organizations
espousing the goal of having more governments allowing intensive citizen interaction
in policymaking is the United Nation (UN).

The view on inclusive citizenship believes that marginalized groups and

individuals should be empowered and included in political processes. Among the
groups that have benefited from the emergence of inclusive and liberal views on
citizenship are women, the poor, and the uneducated.

Citizenship refers to the legal status of an individual in a particular state that

allows him or her to enjoy certain rights and protection. Citizens are beneficiaries of
social welfare programs and other public services and are guaranteed protection from
internal and external threats.

Political efficacy – it relates to an individual’s perception of his capacity to influence

the political system toward a political end.

Political Will – it is the extent of engagement that an individual has with the political
system in the attempt to achieve a goal.

Public governance is “the process and institutions that contribute to public

decision-making”. Public governance has three sub-categories namely, civic,
political, and development governance. Civic and political governance concern issues
related to human rights. These processes of decision-making are mainly conducted
by government officials. Development governance refers to planning and
management of public services, programs, and policies. In this category of public
governance, ordinary citizens are included in the decision making. This inclusion of
non-government citizens is a strategy called participatory governance.
We define participatory governance as state-authorized processes that allow
citizens to voice their opinions and cast their votes about policies and programs that
are directed towards the development of the citizens’ lives. In this strategy, the
government provides an avenue not only for individuals but also for other civil society
organizations to engage in the decision-making process. Participatory governance
represents a more genuine version of democracy since citizens become active
participants in the process. It is distinguished from a representative democracy, in
which the extent of citizens’ participation is only limited to the election of public
officials.

Inclusive citizenship and participatory governance constitute a great help for the
creation of responses to new challenges in the society. With the help of citizens and
their insights, public officials will be aware of what issues should be prioritized and
how such issues should be addressed.

VALUING

Do you have a pre-existing knowledge about the election process in the

Philippines? Filipino citizens aged 18 and above, who are deemed capable of political
decisions, participate in the election process. In this process, citizens vote for every
government position in the national, regional, and municipal level. This shows that
political power still lies within all Filipino citizens. However, some questions about
this may be raised: Does the power of the Filipino masses end with voting? Are we
powerful enough to participate more in national governance?
