The better educated are more engaged, more knowledgeable, and more politically tolerant. Despite a dramatic increase in education attainment over the last quarter century, political engagement has not risen at a commensurate level. How and why education affects citizenship in these ways has until now been a puzzle.Norman H. Nie, Jane Junn, and Kenneth Stehlik-Barry provide answers by uncovering the causal relationship between education and democratic citizenship. They argue that citizenship encompasses both political engagement in pursuit of interests and commitment to democratic values that temper what citizens can do to win in politics. Education affects the two dimensions in distinct ways. Especially significant is the influence of education on political engagement through occupational prominence and position in social networks. Formal education orders the distribution of social position and connections and creates an uneven political playing field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930923794720,"sku":"NEW0226583899","price":52.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/education-and-democratic-citizenship-in-america-0226583899","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
