Document Summary

Chapter 9 and 10- political participation and election and voters. Political participation is activity by individuals formally intended to influence who governs or the decisions taken by those who do. Unconventional participation is, to a degree, outside or even against orthodox politics. Spectators- they vote activity and monitory the system (60%) Apathetics- people who are disengaged in politics (33%) Interest get involved so you can get stuff for yourself. The law of increasing disproportion seems to apply to nearly every political system; no matter how we measure political and social status, the higher the level of political authority, the greater the representation of high- status social groups. Social movements are groups emerging from society to pursue non- establishment goals through unorthodox means. Their objectives are broad rather than sectional and their style, often referred to as new politics, involves a challenge by traditional outsiders to the existing elite.
