Perceptions, Attitudes and Political Engagement

Abstract

The panel focuses on how specific characteristics, contents and issues related to political engagement (character of protest, issues at the stake of participation, substantive understanding of politics, political information, individual socio-economic status) are perceived and understood by participants and general populations. Studying causal effects and correlations or causal mechanisms and processes, the papers show how these factors matter for how people view certain types of protests and issues, how they understand politics and participate.
