In the1996 presidential election, voters stayed away from the polls
in record numbers. This volume of original essays by leading
political scientists and media scholars examines the nature of
political disengagement among the public and offers concrete
solutions for how the government and media can stimulate public
engagement in the political process. Among recommendations are more
public deliberation, media responsibility, and campaign finance
reform. Candidates with integrity, issues that matter, and
information that is both reliable and meaningful will motivate the
disaffected more surely than special-interest appeals to
minorities, lower-income voters, students, and others. Further
recommendations include using the Internet, structural change in
registration and voting, and 'reverse socialization'.
