The relevance of social participation and intermediary associations
for democracy has been at the centre of approaches to democratic
politics since the 19th century. More recently the rise of new
states in Central and Eastern Europe and contemporary discussions
about social conflict, civil society, communitarianism, and social
capital have stimulated a revival of the subject. This study
explores the changing role and functions of voluntary associations,
intermediary organizations and other social movements in democratic
societies. The contributors employ macro- and mico-perspectives to
examine the relationship between social and political involvement
in the democratic process, and use previously unpublished empirical
data from countries such as Britain, Germany, France, Denmark,
Belgium, Norway and Spain. They find the structure of voluntary
associations and intermediary organizations throughout these
countries has changed significantly and their membership levels and
relevance to democratic decision-making have grown pointing to a
changing, but not declining, democratic culture in Western Europe.
