There are increasing concerns about changes in society and the
economy which are undermining the effectiveness of democracy and
weakening traditional conceptions of citizenship. What does it mean
to be a British citizen in the early part of the twenty-first
century? This book presents the first major empirical study of
citizenship in Britain, comprising surveys of political
participation and voluntary activities, and of the beliefs and
values which underpin them. As well as presenting new data, the
authors provide a sophisticated discussion of the concept of
citizenship, and the consequences of a lack of civic engagement in
a modern democracy. It examines why some people are 'good' citizens
when others are 'bad' and it explores the consequences of
citizenship for policy-makers and democracy. Comprehensive and
accessible, this book makes a major contribution to our
understanding of civic attitudes in Britain today and will appeal
to students, researchers and policy-makers.
