Pundits and social observers have voiced alarm each year as fewer
Americans involve themselves in voluntary groups that meet
regularly. Thousands of nonprofit groups have been launched in
recent times, but most are run by professionals who lobby Congress
or deliver social services to clients. What will happen to U.S.
democracy if participatory groups and social movements wither,
while civic involvement becomes one more occupation rather than
every citizen's right and duty? In Diminished Democracy, Theda
Skocpol shows that this decline in public involvement has not
always been the case in this country-and how, by understanding the
causes of this change, we might reverse it.Diminished Democracy:
From Membership to Management in American Civic Life is Volume 8 in
the Julian J. Rothbaum Distinguished Lecture Series.
