Summary

Citizen participation is a key requirement of democratic politics and its apparent decline in recent years has led to a widespread perception that western democracies are suffering a crisis of legitimacy. This major new text provides a systematic introduction to current issues and debates in relation to political participation, set clearly in the context of longer term trends and their historical context.
