In our research (UTASI 2013), we have considered the chances of the reformation of democracy through communal life and civic participation, since it would be an urgent necessity of present-day Hungarian society. This paper attempts to find how participation – an essential prerequisite for the interaction between the individual and the political system – could be defined by certain theoretical models and put in a broader social context. In our research, three main models were used: the civilizing process, the concept of social capital and the theories of civic society. However, it is not possible to explain all aspects of the problem with these models; therefore we have intended to analyse the concept of participation in a metatheoretical framework (SÍK 2011) and point out the possible research questions for future investigation.
