Van Deth, J. W. (2014). A conceptual map of political participation. Acta Politica,
49(3), 349–367.
Expansive ways of participating

volunteering, flash mobs etc
An activity
o Not passive
Done by people as citizens (not politicians or professional
lobbyists)
Voluntary
Deals with government, politics or the state in a broad sense -
neither restricted to specific phases (policy making) or specific levels
(natioal elections, etc)
Civic engagement 'includes any activity, individual or collective,
devoted to influencing the collective life of the polity'
Distinction ? - any organised action or social behaviour or any
activity aimed at change or influencing collective life is covered by these
broad approaches
Rule 5: Is the activity targeted at the sphere of
government/state/politics?

intentions of participants?
o Activity satisfied first 3 rules but is located neither in the
political arena or aimed at political actors or collective probems can
be a form of political participation if used to express political aims and
intentions

target market actors to express their opinions on justic, fairness or
non-economic issues
*Rule 7:
o Political and non-political subvariant can be distinguished
i.e. attend demonstration to find a partner
opportunity or cast a vote to help an acquaintance
Conceptual map - allows recognse modes of participation but can
also specify operationalizations systematically and efficiently

requires the inclusion of aims and goals of participants, but should not
force us to expand our concepts and to make them unnecessarily
complicated.

participation’
