Political Consumerism captures the creative ways in which citizens,
consumers, and political activists use the market as their arena
for politics. This book theorizes, describes, analyzes, compares,
and evaluates the phenomenon of political consumerism and how it
attempts to use market choice to solve complex globalized problems.
It investigates theoretically and empirically how and why consumers
practice citizenship and have become important political actors.
Dietlind Stolle and Michele Micheletti describe consumers'
engagement as an example of individualized responsibility taking,
examining how political consumerism nudges and pressures
corporations to change their production practices, and how
consumers emerge as a force in global affairs. Unlike other
studies, it also evaluates if and how consumer actions become
effective mechanisms of global change. Stolle and Micheletti offer
a candid discussion of the limitations of political consumerism as
a form of participation and as a problem-solving mechanism.
