What role does the concept of political knowledge have in
democratic theory? What according to democratic theorists should
the ordinary citizen know about politics? What do empirical studies
about political knowledge teach us? And why should we care what
people know about politics in the first place?
By asking these important questions, this book offers the reader a
quick yet comprehensive overview of the steps that have been taken
toward understanding the concept of citizen knowledge in democratic
theory over the past several decades. The book summarizes and
explains the essentials of a vast body of literature while the
empirical studies offer data on a number of Western democracies.
Furthermore, the reader is taken through the theoretical
foundations of political knowledge from Ancient Greece to modern
representative democracy. Clear and concise, the book offers a
cutting edge insight into our current understanding of citizen
knowledge in democratic theory.
