Rethinking Modes of Political Participation

“…There are two tendencies to describe the conventional and unconventional forms of political participation in contemporary democracies. On the one hand, the categories are perceived as dichotomous (e.g., Akram et al 2014;Alvarez et al 2020;Angi 2015;Ardèvol-Abreu et al 2020;Barnes and Kaase 1979;Kapsa 2019;Linssen et al 2011Linssen et al , 2017Riley et al 2013;Verba and Nie 1972). In a vote-centered system, conventional participation is considered as something of a higher value than the unconventional options.…”
