1 Structure Modes of Political Participation I. Theoretical overview: Civic decline or evolution in political activism? II. Evidence III. 1. Trends in party membership & civic activism 2. Rise of protest and cause-oriented politics 3. Generational patterns of activism Conclusions Causes & consequences of trends? Concepts Research on political activism compares the ways that citizens participate, the processes that lead them to do so, and the consequences of these acts. Readings: Dalton Ch 3 Norris Political activism online chapter Classics Gabriel A. Almond and Sidney Verba s The Civic Culture: Political Attitudes and Democracy in Five Nations (1963), Sidney Verba and Norman Nie s Participation in America (1972), Sidney Verba, Norman H. Nie, and Jae-on Kim s Participation and Political Equality: A Seven-Nation Comparison (1978), and Samuel Barnes and Max Kaase s Political Action: Mass Participation in Five Western Democracies (1979). Democratic Phoenix (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Newer themes Growing recognition of the importance of the institutional context of formal rules & multilevel analysis eg for electoral turnout; Widespread erosion of party membership in established democracies; Revived interest in voluntary associations and social trust spurred by theories of social capital; and The expansion of diverse forms of cause-oriented forms of activism, including the spread of demonstrations and protests, consumer politics, professional interest groups, and more diffuse new social movements and transnational advocacy networks. The civic decline thesis Half-empty ballot box? (Wattenberg) Desertion of party members? (Dalton, Mair) Partisan dealignment? Partisan dealignment? Hemorrhaging union rolls? Emptying church pews? Anemic voluntary organizations? (Putnam) Rising political cynicism? (Nye et al) Democratic Phoenix 1
2 Model of change If participation is changing Figure 1: Typology of the evolution of political action AGENCIES Traditional voluntary associations, including churches, unions and political parties New social movements and advocacy networks, including environmental and humanitarian Citizen-oriented repertoires, including voting, party work and contact activity Older generation REPERTOIRES Cause-oriented repertoires, including consumer politics, demonstrations and petitions Younger generation Causes? Long-term processes of societal modernization? Growing educational & civic skills Decline of deferential loyalty lt to hierarchical institutions Gradual bottom up generational shift in critical citizens Result of changing institutions of representative democracy? Top down explanations Globalization, decentralization & role of nation state Growth of cross-cutting issues not accommodated by parties Rational response to context of choices and channels of influence organizations If participation is changing Consequences? 1. Social inequality?» Greater civic skills, more demanding acts?» Who participates by class, income, education, gender, ethnicity 2. Quality of deliberative democracy» F-to-f interaction, on-going co-operation, social trust?» Rise of more demanding citizens? 3. For governance?» Stability and violence?» Fragmentation of policy process?
