Modernizing Democracy brings together scholars focusing the role of
associations and associating in contemporary societies.
Organizations and associations have been identified as the "meso
level of society" and as the "basic elements of democracy". They
are important providers of welfare services and play an important
role between the individual and political spheres. In recent years
the environment of associations and associating has changed
dramatically. Individualization, commercialization and
globalization are challenging both democracy and the capability of
associations to fulfill the functions attributed to them by social
sciences. This change provides the central question of the volume:
Is being part of an organization or association becoming an
outdated model? And do associations still have the capacity of
modernizing societies or are they just outdated remnants of
post-democracy? The contributions to Modernizing Democracy will be
organized into: Studying Association and Associating in the 21st
Century, Associating in Times of Post-Democracy and Associations
and the Challenge of Capitalist Development. The book will be
attractive to third sector researchers as well as a broader
academic community of political scientists, sociologists,
economists, legal scientists and related disciplines.
