Civil Society and Activism in Europe

How do voluntary organizations contribute to civic and democratic health? What impact do specific organizational types or discrete organizational characteristics have on the generation of various forms of social capital?

This book examines the role of civil society organizations in several advanced European democracies: Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Building on Citizenship and Involvement in European Democracies (2007) and Social Capital and Associations in European Democracies (2007), this volume seeks to widen and deepen the analysis by introducing new data on activists and combining these with the organizational data and the population data. Based on an innovative research design (and a unique data set) this volume evaluates the impact of the organizational context on individual activity profiles and attitudes and values of activists, and provides a unique assessment on the contribution that voluntary associations make to civil and democratic society.

This book is essential reading for students and scholars of civil society, democracy, political participation, politics and sociology.

William A. Maloney is Professor of Politics and Head of Politics in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology, Newcastle University. Jan W. van Deth is Professor of Political Science and International Comparative Social Research at the University of Mannheim.
