The ECPR Standing Group on Participation and Mobilisation gives room to a broad set of research questions related to participation in politics, processes of organising political demands and interactions between active citizens and their organisations on the one hand and targets of their efforts and other affected groups on the other. Scholars affiliated to the Standing Group represent different theoretical and methodological perspectives, conduct both quantitative to qualitative investigations and use mixed-methods approaches. We build an active network of researchers who present their research on diverse empirical and methodological aspects of participation and mobilisation.
Dramatic changes are now occurring in the field of citizen involvement in politics. Participation is evolving and diversifying not only in terms of the most common forms, but also in terms of the type of actors involved, their reason and targets of actions. Developments in political science show that individuals and groups are increasingly engaging in political activity outside the nation-state and outside the traditional realm of politics (the three branches of government).
Established in 2004, the ECPR Standing Group on Participation and Mobilization provides a forum for different schools of participation research to meet, compare approaches, and develop new research strategies.
We build an active network of researchers who present their research at the ECPR Joint Sessions, General Conferences and other ECPR events. We are also offering our members a forum for exchanges on teaching political participation, including the construction of a “syllabus bank” on courses on citizenship involvement in politics and society and access on-line to papers presented at the ECPR Joint Session workshops and General Conference sessions that have been sponsored by the Standing Group.
The Standing Group gives room to a broad set of research questions related to individualized participation in politics, collective processes of organizing political demands and interactions between active citizens and their organizations on the one side and targets of their efforts and other affected groups on the other side. Scholars affiliated to the standing group represent different methodological perspectives ranging from quantitative to qualitative investigations and including studies based on mixed-methods approaches.
The main themes address diverse empirical and methodological aspects of participation and mobilization:
