This book theorizes, describes, analyzes, compares and evaluates the phenomenon of political consumerism and how it attempts to use market choice to solve complex globalized problems. It investigates theoretically and empirically how and why consumers practice citizenship and have become important political actors. Dietlind Stolle and Michele Micheletti describe consumers' engagement as an example of individualized responsibility taking, examining how political consumerism nudges and pressures corporations to change their production practices, and how consumers emerge as a force in global affairs. Unlike other studies, it also evaluates if and how consumer actions become effective mechanisms of global change. Stolle and Micheletti offer a candid discussion of the limitations of political consumerism as a form of participation and as a problem-solving mechanism. 606 $aPolitics, Practical 606 $aPolitical participation 606 $aPolitical ethics 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPolitics, Practical. 615 0$aPolitical participation. 615 0$aPolitical ethics. 615 0$aConsumption (Economics)$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a172/.1 700 $aStolle$b Dietlind$f1967-$01040763 702 $aMicheletti$b Michele 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452467703321 996 $aPolitical consumerism$92463896 997 $aUNINA
