An attempt is made to test the hyp that the more homogeneous the SE bases of pol'al parties, the weaker the r between soc participation & SL. 3 countries are compared: the US, Great Britain, & West Germany. Though it was not found to be possible to order the latter 2 nations re the degree of association between SL & degree of participation, the hyp seems supportable if the US is compared with Great Britain on the one hand, & West Germany on the other.

Involvement in citizenship and political participation of immigrant populations or populations of immigrant origin are often seen as important dimensions of the integration process into the settlement society. Investment in civic life is strongly influenced by the level of trust in institutions such as schools, public services and in particular the police. It is reflected, inter alia, in political participation. This will be addressed here by the inclusion on the electoral roll, an issue which was debated after the 2005 suburbs crisis, and by the political positioning of 'France de la Diversity'. ; L'implication dans la citoyenneté et la participation politique des populations immigrées ou d'origine immigrée sont souvent considérées comme des dimensions importantes du processus d'intégration dans la société d'installation. L'investissement dans la vie citoyenne est fortement influencé par le degré de confiance accordé aux institutions comme l'école, les services publics et notamment la police. Il se traduit, entre autres, par la participation à la vie politique. Celle-ci sera appréhendée ici par l'inscription sur les listes électorales, question qui a fait débat après la crise des banlieues de 2005, et par le positionnement politique de la " France de la diversité ".
: Employing a qualitative approach, the present study outlooks the political participation of people in Denpasar, Bali, with regard to the 2020 regional head election in the city during COVID-19 pandemic. Data were garnered through observation and documentation. The findings of this study informed that societies participated in the election with the belief that their interest are accommodated by political parties. Although the election was done during pandemic, the stakeholders carried out strict health protocol of COVID-19 in order to prevent the virus dissemination among societies. Based on the findings, this study suggest that the regional head election has an impact on the relationship between political parties at the regional level and the central level, in which, the central executive board always exercises hegemony towards regional party administrators in providing support recommendations for regional head candidates.

Nigeria and Nigerians have witnessed different kinds of electoral frauds since the return to democracy in 1999. Counting from the 1999 general election in Nigeria, the 2019 general election is the 6th general elections conducted in the country. Unfortunately, none of these elections have been considered to be free and fair as there are always public outcries from one end to another against the results of the elections as a result of lack of transparency in the process. Drawing from this background, this study, examines whether heavy use of WhatsApp platforms by different political parties in the election encouraged popular participation and effective monitoring of the electoral processes. The study which examined a total of 318 respondents sampled from select WhatsApp groups of the two leading political parties adopted the survey research method with the social media engagement and technological acceptance theories as its theoretical framework to ascertain whether the use of WhatsApp platforms by political parties encouraged popular participation among the electorate and determine if WhatsApp platforms were helpful to parties in monitoring the 2019 general election as well as its processes. Findings revealed that WhatsApp use encouraged popular participation and electoral process monitoring. The researchers recommended that the political parties and the electoral umpire should engage more in the use of social media platforms in passing information during, on and after election to encourage transparency in leadership
La recherche est souvent affaire de cycles et de redécouvertes. Ce livre n'échappe pas à cette logique. À l'instar d'Alan Zuckerman qui s'intéresse aux logiques sociales du politique ou de Céline Braconnier1 qui insiste sur l'importance des groupes d'appartenance primaire des individus pour saisir leurs comportements électoraux, le travail de Meredith Rolfe vise à resocialiser l'individu, ici quand il s'agit d'aller voter. Pour l'auteure, il faut sortir d'une analyse atomistique, qu'elle soit centrée sur le calcul des coûts ou des bénéfices (Anthony Downs), ou bien des ressources civiques, afin de proposer une « théorie sociale » de la participation électorale [Premier paragraphe].

Argues that the ideas of representation & political participation are at the heart of democracy. However, over the past 200 years concepts & practices have changed. States that it is generally agreed that there is a crisis at present in both areas. Cites as evidence lower voting participation with the result that elected officials are no longer representative of the population. Identifies voter apathy & lack of confidence in systems & individuals as a source. Maintains collective life suffers as a result with excessive individualism & disaffection as consequences. Further, introduces the role of new technologies as an influence. Generalizing about contributions to this edition of the journal, notes the awareness that political parties are on the decline while other group-oriented movies (rights movements, ecological movements) are flourishing. Observes petitions, strikes, demonstrations exist apart from standard elective politics. These facts provide a context for social science when investigating the reality of non-participation. Classical approaches are said not to apply in all instances. To this end contributors make use of some important & original methodologies. In other instances, they seek to explain the emergence of the changes observed. Such longstanding issues as Quebec sovereignty are addressed with research showing differences among groups of young Canadians. Political participation among young artists is at the heart of one essay. New methodology, involving interactive technology, is introduced in this contribution. Issues addressed include the role of context (social, social, institutional, political) in fashioning individual political behavior. In addition to individuals, groups have been studied in how coalitions have renewed political participation, expression of citizenship, & other forms of organized engagement. Conscious of adopting an iconoclastic approach to political participation, the authors regard themselves as describing a form of mobilization in process of development because these coalitions have the potential of replacing more official forms of political organization. Parallel to this is the increase in purely local politics, especially when it comes to ecological issues. Such developments raise issues about political spaces where the population is more eager to participate in small neighborhood spaces & less likely to do so in larger municipal spaces. In such instances, life space & political space become synonymous. This point of view has a serious effect on representation & participation. Generational differences also figure importantly here as well since young (18 to 30 years old) differ from their elders. Finally, mentions new forms of participation: Internet mobilization, for example. R. Ruffin
Après une longue période de désintérêt voire d'hostilité, de nombreux pays d'émigration tentent aujourd'hui de créer ou renforcer les liens avec leurs citoyens résidant à l'étranger en développant des institutions et en adoptant des politiques publiques spécifiques à leur égard. En l'espace de deux décennies, une majorité d'états dans le monde a ainsi autorisé le vote à distance des citoyens vivant à l'étranger aux élections du pays d'origine et certains ont même mis en place des mécanismes spécifiques de représentation et de consultation pour ces populations. Dans cet article nous nous interrogeons sur l'émergence d'une citoyenneté politique externe et les conséquences qu'elle a sur la participation citoyenne des migrants dans le pays de résidence. ; Following years of disinterest or hostility, many sending states are now trying to create or strengthen linkages with citizens residing abroad. To this end, states are adopting new policies and creating new institutions dedicated to emigrants. In the past three decades, a majority of states worldwide has adopted external voting legislation that enables citizens abroad to vote (and in certain cases be represented) in the home country without having to return. In this article, I question the emergence of such policies and discuss their impact on immigrant political participation in their country of residence. ; Peer reviewed
