What social conditions, ideas and values facilitate or discourage political activity? How is it that some people are systematically disempowered in democratic societies in comparison with others? What social forms offer the most promise for extending and deepening democracy? The influential articles collected in this volume are a record of how political sociologists since the 1970s have framed questions about the range and limits of democratic political engagement, and developed concepts and methodologies in order to research the answers to those questions.
