This comparative study examines what kinds of societal forces
shape European relationships towards democratic political life in
contemporary Europe.
Drawing on data from the European Social Survey (ESS), the book
develops a theoretical perspective on the relationship between
social structure and democracy and links this to research on social
capital and political behaviour. The authors explore the impact of
individual social characteristics on a broad range of the Europeans
political attitudes and behaviours. They investigate how the social
position of the individuals in the European societies contributes
to the explanation of the national and cross-national patterns of
political engagement, addressing trust in the social and political
environment, life satisfaction, party preferences and attitudes
towards migration and migrants.
Providing detailed descriptions of the similarities and
differences among the various European publics at the beginning of
the 21st century, "Society and Democracy in Europe" will be of
strong interest to students and scholars of European politics,
political participation and political sociology.
