Nathan Manning has recently survived the process of editing a book Political (Dis)engagement. The Changing Nature of the ‘Political’. The book asks:
In what ways is the meaning and practice of politics changing?
Why might so many people feel dissatisfied and disaffected with electoral politics?
What approaches do political activists use to raise issues and mobilise people for action?
What role does the internet and social media play in contemporary citizenship and activism?
It brings together
academics from a range of disciplines with political activists and campaigners
to explore the meaning of politics and citizenship in contemporary society and
the current forms of political (dis)engagement. As a result Nathans edited collection provides a rare dialogue
between analysts and activists which will be especially valuable to academics
and students across the social sciences, in particular sociology and political
science.
