This unique study presents the results of a cross-national analysis
of citizenship and participation among citizens in twelve European
democracies. Research on the future and quality of contemporary
democracy is usually restricted to focus either on political
participation, on particular aspects of citizenship, or on social
activities, exclusively. This new book offers the first empirical
investigation of the relationships both between social and
political involvement, and between "small-scale" and "large-scale"
democracies.
"Citizenship and Involvement in European Democracies" offers
representative samples of the populations in a selection of
European countries between 2000-2, including: Denmark; Germany
[East and West]; Moldova; the Netherlands; Norway; Portugal;
Romania; Russia; Slovenia; Spain; Sweden; and Switzerland. The
leading contributors provide new theoretical insights and offer a
broad conceptualization of citizenship, stimulating the ongoing
discussions about the problems and challenges of democratic
political systems.
This book has a companion volume entitled "Social Capital and
Associations in European Democracies" edited by William A. Maloney
and Sigrid Roteutscher (Routledge, 2006). Both volumes will be of
great interest to students and researchers of European Politics,
Comparative Politics and Sociology.
