"This volume creates an interdisciplinary and multi-method portrait of the study of political participation. The conversations this volume enables will shape the study of political participation for decades to come." - Nancy Burns, Warren E. Miller Collegiate Professor and Chair of Political Science, University of Michigan

"Just fabulous, massively useful and exactly what we need. This is utterly comprehensive and certainly no less authoritative. A major reference point and an extremely reliable and useful guide to this massively important body of literature." - Colin Hay, Professor of Political Sciences, Sciences Po, Paris

"This Handbook is a "must read" for scholars of political participation. Fully understanding the multiple dimensions of political participation requires us to cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries, and this volume provides us a perfect roadmap for doing just that. The chapters are beautifully curated and they promise to help scholars to understand the foundation of democracy — political participation. This interdisciplinary tour de force will not disappoint." - Sarah A. Soule, Morgridge Professor of Organizational Behavior, Stanford Graduate School of Business

"The continuously broadening spring tide of political action around the world is studied differently in different disciplines with different aims, approaches, methodologies, and instruments. The unusually comprehensive set of 52 contributions to this Handbook depicts the many merits of participation thoroughly while building bridges and avoiding parochialism. Essential and mandatory readingfor everyone interested in democracy and citizenship." - Jan W. van Deth, Professor Emeritus, University of Mannheim

"The first edition of The Oxford Handbook of Political Participation boasts a remarkable line-up of first-rate scholars. Because democratic politics is simply unthinkable without it, political participation has become one of the core phenomena social scientists study. The field being fragmented across disciplines and approaches, this volume contains an heroic effort and presents a systematic and well-organized overview in highly informative chapters." - Stefaan Walgrave, Full Professor of Political Science, University of Antwerp
