Resumo de Recurso

The context of political participation
  1. Political culture - the opinions, attitudes and beliefs which shape political behaviour. A country's political culture consists of the citizenry's collective attitudes to the political system and their role in it
    1. Homogeneity
      1. The view that people within a country share certain key values - a sense of togetherness that transcends that which divides them
        1. Developments such as the expansion of immigration since the 1960's and the rise of Scottish and Welsh nationalism suggests that the UK is more multicultural than homogeneic
        2. Consensus
          1. UK citizens accept the rules of society, such as the need for pragmatism and tolerance
            1. The post-war consensus ended with the rise of politicians like Thatcher
              1. In recent years, decline in consensus has been illustrated through the rise in single-issue campaigns, the rise of direct action and the increased support for nationalist parties
              2. Deference
                1. The view that people defer to an elite that is seen as 'born to rule' - a natural willingness to accept an ingrained class-base inequality or hierarchy
                  1. The development of a modern media has demystified the elite
