A must-read book for anyone wanting to understand one of the most important concepts in how ordinary people approach politics - whether or not they find politics interesting. Ideal reading for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers in both American and comparative politics, political psychology and public opinion.
Political interest is the strongest predictor of ''good citizenship'', yet hardly anything is known about it. For the first time in over three decades, here is a study explaining what political interest is, where it comes from, and why it matters. Providing the most thorough description available of political interest in four Western democracies this study analyzes large household panel data sets rarely used in political science to explain how interest develops in people''s lives. In an accessible manner, the book''s analytical approach pushes applied social scientists to consider how panel data can be used to better understand political behavior. It does so in a way that doesn''t gloss over complexities, and explains them in straightforward language. Advanced statistical methods are presented informally, accompanied by graphical illustrations that require no prior knowledge to understand the methods used.
