Concept information
Preferred term
political engagement
Definition
- Studies of political engagement almost inevitably address the question as to why there is a distinct lack of participation in most Western, industrialized democracies, the very places where one might expect the most involvement (Dalton, 1999). Indeed, the U.S. Bureau of the Census has found that today's youth are “abandoning traditional forms of political participation” (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2000) in lieu of more direct forms of service, such as volunteering.
