Summary:

Analyzing patterns of citizen voting and political participation, Political Participation in the United States examines who the participants in our political process are, what they do, and what they hope to accomplish -- whether their participation is the simple act of voting or the more demanding role of running for political office.

The new third edition is updated throughout both in its discussion of research on participation, and its examination of participation patterns (through the 1998 elections).
