Additional text

The first edition of The Oxford Handbook of Political Participation boasts a remarkable line-up of first-rate scholars. Because democratic politics is simply unthinkable without it, political participation has become one of the core phenomena social scientists study. The field being fragmented across disciplines and approaches, this volume contains an heroic effort and presents a systematic and well-organized overview in highly informative chapters.
