Description

Through six articles written at intervals of about a decade between 1960 and 2020, the book provides an account of the authors developing political awareness during the period in the context of political events and changes. In this way the book illustrates the social origins of political attitudes, while, at the same time, the articles raise questions about the increasing dominance of political discourse in society. The book suggests that politics is now excessively managed by political professionals and that the challenge for reviving democratic participation is to restore the social dimension of state membership.

Reviews

'Self-Presentation and Representative Politics sketches out a tantalising and ambitious rethinking of the current state of politics which links the papers and is an extremely valuable contribution in its own right. The book promises to be a valuable addition to the literature and might indeed reach beyond a merely academic readership.'- William Outhwaite, Emeritus Professor, Newcastle University, UK
