PO 223 - Pol Particpn&Demo Citiznshp

Institution:

Millikin University

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

THis course examines political participation and the quality of democratic citizenship in the United States. Because democracy presupposes an informed, engaged, and participatory public, low levels of civic and political engagement and participation may be indicative of apathetic citizenry and cause for concern. Or citizens may be acting in their rational self interest by not participating. This course examines that dilemma and explores the consequences of low levels of participation and its possible remedies. This course also encourages students to examine the political consequences of resources, social networks, and mobilization.
