Framing Civic Engagement, Political Participation and Active Citizenship in Europe: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Framing Civic Engagement, Political Participation and Active Citizenship in Europe" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book evaluates the role that civic engagement, political participation and active citizenship can play in promoting the establishment of a European polity. The chapters included here examine how the practice of active citizenship is managed and constructed in the context of a European drive to increase civic engagement and political participation in three member states (Portugal, Italy and the UK) and one accession country (Turkey). Looking at both processes and policies promoting active citizenship at the European and national levels, this book uncovers current discourses as well as political priorities and values that surround the activities of non- governmental organizations (NGOs). Of particular interest are debates about the nature and level of civic and political participation and engagement of marginal groups (women, youths, migrants and minorities) as they are particularly vulnerable to social exclusion. The book focuses on the interaction between institutions and civil society actors, addressing a number of questions related to their reciprocal role in influencing, shaping, criticising or disregarding certain political priorities.This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Civil Society.

This special issue evaluates the role that civic engagement, political participation, and active citizenship can play in promoting the establishment of a European polity. The articles included here examine how the practice of active citizenship is managed and constructed in the context of a European drive to increase civic engagement and political participation in three member states (Portugal, Italy, and the UK) and one accession country (Turkey). Looking at both processes and policies promoting active citizenship at the European and national levels, this special issue uncovers current discourses as well as political priorities and values that surround the activities of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Of particular interest are debates about the nature and level of civic and political participation and engagement of marginal groups (women, youths, migrants, and minorities) as they are particularly vulnerable to social exclusion.
The literature on civic and political participation and engagement focuses on the failure of traditional policy approaches to engender higher levels of ownership and participation within the European polity. This trend is more acute in relation to marginal groups. Both Fraser (1992) and Laclau and Mouffe (1985) have called for a re-valuation of the relationship between public and private spheres in order to understand the mechanisms and nature of civic and political participation and the role that discourse plays in establishing dominant notions of political concepts. From this perspective, traditional conceptualizations of the public sphere have served to frame our understandings of ownership and participation. This theoretical framework informs the way our special issue looks at the role of political discourse in shaping policy outcomes and associated responses. The articles included here compare institutional and civil society approaches to active citizenship in order to make sense of convergence, fragmentation, and hierarchies of power in the construction of political identities amongst traditionally marginal groups.
