New Participatory Dimensions in Civil Society

This book examines citizen engagement in contemporary democratic politics and the development of new participatory forms. Based on empirical information gathered from citizens, activists and organizations, it examines the changing face of democratic participation.

Advanced democracies are plagued by the complex problem of basing political decisions on the active engagement of citizens and citizens organizations. Although the benefits of an active citizenry appear great, the reality is that most citizens positively embrace a relatively marginal role in organized politics. The conventional activist citizens as active members engaged in voluntary associations and collective decision making seems to be replaced by passive supporters and donors or ephemeral or episodic democratic participators. This volume aims to address several issues at the core of this transformation: the rise of chequebook participation, the growing attractiveness of individualized forms of participation and the increasing relevance of professional expertise.

Looking beyond the traditional single focus on participation or on organizations in isolation, the book innovatively examines the empirical link that can be established between actual developments in democratic participations and the organizational framework in European countries.

New Participatory Dimensions in Civil Society is essential reading for students and scholars of democracy, participation, civil society, politics and sociology.

Jan W. van Deth is Professor of Political Science and International Comparative Social Research at the University of Mannheim, Germany.

William A. Maloney is Professor of Politics and Head of Politics in the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology at Newcastle University, UK.
