How do France and Germany compare in the world of participatory
political communities? This volume sets out an impressive
historical, theoretical and institutional framework for a
comprehensive, comparative and empirical analysis of the forms,
patterns, trends and determinants of citizen participation in two
of Europe's largest democracies. Written by an international team
of political scientists, it starts with an outline of the
participatory traditions in both countries before turning to the
theoretical foundations of empirical research regarding the role of
political participation in modern democracies. It provides an
overview of how the perception of political participation has
changed over the years and the forms of both conventional
participation, particularly with regard to electoral participation,
and unconventional participation like protest and other new forms
of citizen involvement are analysed in detail. Exploring new
approaches in participation research, social participation is seen
as not just correlating with political participation, but as a
specific form of civic engagement in itself. A broad range of
activities, such as electoral and party related participation,
political protest, participation in voluntary associations, voting
in referenda and taking part in dialogue-orientated participatory
activities is examined and the analysis identifies which societal,
institutional and cultural factors account for the differences and
similarities between the two countries.
