Book Synopsis

To counter pervasive levels of citizen disengagement from political institutions, this book examines democratic innovations that meaningfully engage with citizens to address some of the deficits of Western representative democracies.

This cutting-edge book introduces a new definition for an Activated Citizen, along with a methodology to measure civic and political engagement.
