Description
This is a book about people as citizens, voters, protesters, campaign workers, community activists party members, and political spectators. Thorough, well-written and enormously informative, Citizen Politics is a valuable opportunity to examine political behavior in the United States within the context of other industrial democracies. Focusing on the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and France in a broad cross-national context Russell Dalton offers the argument that the quality of citizen politics is alive and well whereas the institutions of democracy are in disarray.
