,The papers in this collection, written by a cross-regional group
of experts, provide insights into the causes of declining levels of
citizen participation and other distinct forms of civic activism in
Europe and explore a range of factors contributing to apathy and
eventually disengagement from vital political processes and
institutions. At the same time, this volume examines informal or
unconventional types of civic engagement and political
participation corresponding to the rapid advances in culture,
technology and social networking. The volume is divided into three
interrelated parts: Part I consists of critical essays in the form
of theoretical approaches to analysing weakening political
participation and citizen estrangement; Part II is dedicated to an
exploration of the role and deployment of technologically advanced
media, such as the internet, as determinants of changing patterns
of political participationist behaviour. Finally, Part III presents
findings of empirical research on the issue of political
participation. Combining theoretical and empirical perspectives,
the book contributes towards a better understanding of the
disquieting trend of voter apathy and disenchantment with politics
in the context of the ongoing process of European integration, and
offers a variety of analytical tools for decoding both the
emergence of alternative conceptualizations of citizenship and
other forms of meaningful civic and political engagement.
