Grassroots Democracy

Grassroots Democracy
Grass roots democracy is the term used to describe the conscious participation of local residents in politics through local movements and other means. In many places in the United States, local residents actively participate in politics and politics is run by the residents themselves, and this type of local politics is generally referred to as grass roots democracy. It is not a classic citizen democracy by wealthy and educated citizens, nor is it a mass democracy that is unusually rallied around a mass movement or mass leader, but a form of democracy supported by the everyday political participation of the masses. It is an idea put forward by the Progressive Party, which separated from the Republican Party (USA) in 1912, and was later adopted by the Republican Party in the 1930s, and the term became popular.

Japanese:
grass roots democracyの訳語。住民運動などを通して地域住民のひとりひとりが自覚的に政治に参加すること。米国の地方政治においては地域住民が積極的に政治に参加し,住民自身の手によって政治が担われている所が多く,こうした地方政治のありかたを一般にこう呼んでいる。〈財産と教養〉のある市民による古典的な市民デモクラシーでもなく,また大衆運動や大衆指導者のもとに非日常的に結集するマス・デモクラシー(大衆民主主義)でもない底辺の民衆の日常的な政治参加によって支えられる民主主義のあり方をいう。1912年に共和党(米国)から分離した進歩党が掲げた理念で,その後1930年代に共和党が受け入れて,この言葉が一般化した。
