The stumbling blocks of the "dialogical" procedures spread in the political public place and put in the service of the democratic participation of the citizens can be limited, by-passed even by the development of modalities and "post-dialogical" devices of sustainable cooperation in the public and " private " places, the political spaces and everyday life, with the aim of a both reflexive and constructive democratic governance.
The "post-dialogical" way suggests that the "dialogical" devices in the service of the democratic participation are neither a necessary condition, nor a sufficient condition of the mobilization of the actors or the exercise of the citizenship.

The passage of the models and the devices of participation of "dialogical" type in the models and devices of cooperation of "post-dialogical" type allows to envisagesustainable democratic methods of social exchange and governance beyond the public place and beyond the political space, by considering their development and their functioning in the "private" spaces , in particular those of the world of work and of everyday life.
The way of the cooperation groups a big variety of approaches and experiences
and suggest, beyond the devices of interaction, to question the transformations of the company and the State, as well as their possible evolution towards the forms of " the cooperative company " and of " cooperative State ", major partners, with civil society, of the democratic governance of our societies.

Our paper will include a theoretical approach and the synthesis of the results of our field work in the domain of industrial democracy and of citizen contribution to sustainable developement in France and in Europe.
