Democracies are transforming worldwide, but at the same time
political inequality is increasing. This development threatens to
leave growing portions of mass publics effectively 'outside' the
political process. This volume brings together leading authorities
in the field of democratic citizenship and participation to address
pertinent questions concerning the quality of the democratic
political process at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Analysing causes and consequences of recent developments in
democratic governance and citizenship, it contributes new and
original research to the ongoing debate on the crisis of
representative democracy. The contributors deal with a broad range
of issues including aspects of democratic citizenship and citizens'
perceptions of system performance, political inequality and the
democratic impact of participatory innovations. This book will be
of key interest to scholars and students in democratization
studies, democratic citizenship, comparative politics, political
sociology and political participation.

The 2013 federal election in Germany took place amidst considerable
uncertainty over the EU's economic crisis. Financial rescue
packages for several countries required the provision of huge sums.
Some EU-members barely avoided the economic abyss. Germany,
however, was spared much of the hardship as her economy produced
record-levels of employment, exports boomed, and German state
coffers began to see a budget surplus. Against this backdrop, this
book examines the choices offered to voters by parties, and
publics' decision calculus. How did Germany's voter evaluate
economic conditions and the Euro crisis? For example, is there a
demand for a new party representing the rising EU-skeptical
sentiments? How did long-term developments such as the weakening
party-voter ties affect the election outcome? What programs did
parties offer to voters in the election? The book brings together
several leading experts of German and European politics to address
these questions. The chapters were originally published as a
special issue in German Politics.

Das Buch untersucht verschiedene Aspekte des sozialen Wandels in
Deutschland. Anhand der Daten der Allgemeinen Bevoelkerungsumfrage
der Sozialwissenschaften wird der Frage nach Veranderung in Werten,
Einstellungen und Verhalten der Deutschen nachgegangen.
During recent decades, the process of globalization has permeated
the borders of nation states. In addition to traditional political
actors (governments, parliaments, and political parties), actors
from civil society, business, national/transnational
non-governmental organizations, and other organized interests have
become important players in the political arena. Authoritative
decision-making in the formal context of hierarchical structures of
'government' is increasingly replaced by 'governance' complex
processes of coordination and negotiation within pluri-centric
network structures. As a consequence, traditional modes of
legitimizing political institutions, actors, and policies have
become precarious. Differing in their regional scope, equipped with
diverse theoretical tools, and applying a variety of methods, the
chapters assembled in this volume address numerous aspects of the
processes that have been transforming international, national, and
subnational politics all over the world.
