"Die aktive Teilnahme am politischen Prozess nimmt kontinuierlich ab: Die Wahlbeteiligung geht zurück, die soziale Selektivität der Partizipation verschärft sich, die Volksparteien verlieren an Bindungskraft und beklagen seit Jahren einen massiven Mitgliederschwund. Die Stärkung direkt-demokratischer Elemente oder alternativer politischer Betätigungsformen wären keine probaten Gegenmittel. Im Gegenteil – diese Beteiligungsformen sind noch stärker einer sozialen Selektion unterworfen. Wichtig wäre – neben einer deutlicheren Profilierung der Parteien - eine breit gefächerte präventive Politik, die der dauerhaften sozialen Exklusion großer Bevölkerungsteile entgegenwirkt."[Autorenreferat]... view less

"Political participation in developed democracies is steadily decreasing. Voter turnout is in decline, social selectivity of political participation is on the rise. The major political parties face the challenge of dwindling membership. Strengthening elements of direct democracy or fostering alternative methods of political involvement are insufficient. On the contrary, these forms of participation are even more prone to exclude the poor and less well educated. What is needed is a broad range of preventive social, fiscal and educational policies which counteract social exclusion of a significant part of the population."[author´s abstract]... view less
