Abstract
This paper discusses the nature of the ambiguities in our understanding of participation, present in the participation and systems thinking literature. There is a tendency to confuse the two main justifications for participation; namely the arguments for participation on the grounds of efficiency, or on the grounds of a moral right to be included in decision making.
