Description: Political Disaffection In Contemporary Democracies : Social Capital, Institutions, and Politics, Hardcover by Torcal, Mariano (EDT); Montero, Jose Ramon (EDT), ISBN 0415340667, ISBN-13 9780415340663, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK In contrast to earlier writers concerned about a "crisis of democracy," Torcal (political science, Pompeu Fabra U., Spain) and Montero (political science, U. Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) argue that critical attitudes towards democratic politics and representative institutions--political disaffection in their formulation--should be treated as conceptually distinct from political alienation or distrust. They present 13 papers that conform to this distinction and seek to explain the origins and evolution of political disaffection in contemporary democracies and identify any general trends through cross-national political explanations. Contributors have also been asked to analyze behavioral consequences of political disaffection in terms of whether it may be responsible for citizen estrangement from politics or whether it gives rise to new forms of political involvement.
