Short description of:
Deth, Jan W. van (ed.)
Private groups and public life. Social participation, voluntary associations
and political involvement in representative democracies
London and New York: Routledge, 1997
This book focuses on the changing relationship between social and political involvement in Western Europe. Empirical case studies examine how new social movements interact with conventional political structures as individuals and groups experiment with new forms of political expression. The results indicate not a declining, but a changing democratic culture.
