Beschreibung:
The Oxford Handbook of Political Participation provides the first comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of political participation in all of its varied expressions. It covers a wide range of topics relating to the study of political participation from different disciplinary and methodological angles, such as the modes of participation, the role of the context as well as the determinants, processes, and outcomes of participation. The volume brings together the political science and political sociology tradition, on the one hand, and the social movement sociological tradition, on the other, is sensitive to theoretical and methodological pluralism as well as the most recent developments in the field, and includes discussions combining perspectives that have traditionally been treated separately in the literature as well as discussions of current trends and future directions for research in this field.
