The Varieties of Civic Experience

Scholars, including Robert Putnam and Theda Skocpol, in documenting declining civic participation in the US over the past 50 years, have arrived at a view of civic or political engagement that is too narrow. They disparage activity that is insufficiently oriented to the public good, transitory, individualistic, and lacking in risk or sacrifice. Their view is misleading. Activities that seem privatistic, transitory, individualistic, or low-cost may have far-reaching civic benefits.
