ABSTRACT
The starting point for the Inclusive democracy project is that contemporary society, which presently takes the form of a market/growth economy and representative democracy everywhere, is undergoing a profound and widespread crisis. The ecological crisis, as manifested by the rapid deterioration in the quality of life, is the direct result of the continuing degradation of the environment, which the market economy and the consequent growth economy promote. Inclusive democracy is therefore a new conception of democracy that, using as its starting point the classical definition of it, expresses democracy in terms of direct political democracy, economic democracy, as well as democracy in the social realm and ecological democracy. However, several attempts have been made in history to institutionalize various forms of direct democracy, especially during revolutionary periods. The institutionalization of inclusive democracy in terms of the above conditions is only the necessary condition for the establishment of democracy.
