(I didn't go into some potentially intriguing applications of the
stakeholder model. For instance here in the US we have some
states, such as Texas, that are essentially eliminating rights of
women to obtain abortions. If we were to fully honor the
stakeholder model then only real "stakeholders" in that matter are
women, and thus under a true stakeholder model of governance,
women ought to be the only ones who would have a voice in the
decision to enact that law or not.)

A convenient device... all stakeholders will together decide, but
then we will decide who the stakeholders are --</p>

And/ or (2) indirectly -- by actively creating and sustaining
conditions so that 'favored' 'stakeholders' alone can effectively
be present and engage (anyone wants proof? i can provide it)<br>
</p>
<p>I challenge any or all purveyor(s) of MS ism (or what was it --
MS governance systems) to come and co-organise a global conference
on MSism (or whatever), and we will get theorists and
practitioners of participatory democracy, and anyone else you
want, over there -- and we can discuss threadbare and will know
'what is what' .... Any takers? Olivier? Others? <br>
