People's politics

People's politics

People's politics is a term coined by the Anglo-Dutch political scientist Thomas O'Neill.

People's politics is contrasted to governmental politics, a concept Graham T. Allison and Philip D. Zelikow developed in their classic . In governmental politics, a political decision is the result of a bargaining game between and inside political elites. In people’s politics, however, decisions are the result of a bargaining game between the political elites and civil society, which is conceived as an arena in which the public will is formulated. A healthy civil society is "accessible to anyone and just as accessible", in one of O'Neill's characteristic phrases.
