The impressive scholarship assembled here by leaders in the study of participation highlights the important advances in the literature since Voice and Equality was published, and points us all fruitfully toward the future of the field.</i>"-Katherine Cramer, Professor of Political Science and Director of the Morgridge Center for Public Service, University of Wisconsin-Madison. <br></BLOCKQUOTE> <p> Individuals who are civically active have three things in common: they have the capacity to do so, they want to, and they have been asked to participate. <i>New Advances in the Study of Civic Voluntarism</i> is dedicated to examining the continued influence of these factors-resources, engagement, and recruitment-on civic participation in the twenty-first century. <br> <p>The contributors to this volume examine recent social, political, technological, and intellectual changes to provide the newest research in the field. Topics range from race and religion to youth in the digital age, to illustrate the continued importance of understanding the role of the everyday citizen in a democratic society. <br /><b> <br /></b><i>Contributors include:</i><b><i> </i></b><i>Molly Andolina, Allison P.

McClurg (formerly edited by Alan S. Zuckerman), directs attention to several related clusters of research in the social sciences. At the core is a theoretical principle: individuals make political decisions, like other choices, by taking into account cues from other persons. Studies move from individuals to groups to large scale collectivities. Usually examining micro-politics-voting and other forms of political participation; the place of politics in households, the family, the friendship unit, and the neighborhood- this research also studies how broader political and social contexts influence and are influenced by these micro-processes. It includes as well "small group behavior" in political institutions, such as exchanges of cues in legislatures and patron-client relations in bureaucratic agencies and political parties. Books in <em>The Social Logic of Politics</em> Series will apply research techniques that run the gamut of contemporary political science, sociology, communications, and geography. <br /> </p></P> </P> </P> <p align="center"><a href="https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart/ChicagoBook.aspx?ISBN=&&PRESS=temple" target="_top">Buy this book!</a> | <a href="https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart/Cart.aspx?PRESS=temple" target="_top">View Cart</a> | <a href="https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart/Cart.aspx?PRESS=temple" target="_top">Check Out</a></p><p><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="copyright.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Web Copyright Policy';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''" title="Web Copyright Policy">©</a> 2016 <a href="http://www.temple.edu" target="new" onMouseOver="window.status='Link to Temple University home page';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''" title="Link to Temple University home page">Temple University</a>.
