Politics and Volunteering begins by painting a portrait of
volunteering in Japan, and demonstrates that our current
understandings of civil society have been based implicitly on a
U.S. model that does not adequately consider participation patterns
found in other parts of the world. The book develops a theory of
civic participation that, incorporates citizen attitudes about
governmental and individual responsibility, with societal and
governmental practices that support (or hinder) volunteer
participation. This theory is tested using cross-national and
sub-national statistical analysis, and it is refined through
detailed case studies of volunteering in three Japanese cities. The
findings are then used to build the Community Volunteerism Model,
which explains and predicts both the types and rates of
volunteering in communities around the world. The model is tested
using four cross-national case studies (Finland, Japan, Turkey and
the United States) and three sub-national case studies in Japan.
