This phenomenon is by no means new, but with the weakening of political parties in recent decades and the rise of candidate-centered politics, the high level of complexity has become ever more difficult for many citizens to navigate. Thus the combination of complex elections and the steady decline of the party system has led to a decline in voter turnout. In this timely book, Martin Wattenberg confronts the question of what low participation rates mean for democracy. At the individual level, turnout decline has been highest among the types of people who most need to have electoral decisions simplified for them through a strong party system--those with the least education, political knowledge, and life experience. As Wattenberg shows, rather than lamenting how many Americans fail to exercise their democratic rights, we should be impressed with how many arrive at the polls in spite of a political system that asks more of a typical person than is reasonable. Meanwhile, we must find ways to make the American electoral process more user-friendly. 606 $aElections$zUnited States 606 $aVoting$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical parties$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aElections 615 0$aVoting 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a324.973 700 $aWattenberg$b Martin P.$f1956-$0676616 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454587303321 996 $aWhere have all the voters gone$92294947 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04093oam 2200649 c 450 001 996359643703316 005 20220428163651.0 010 $a3-8394-4889-1 024 7 $a10.14361/9783839448892 035 $a(CKB)4100000011249227 035 $a(DE-B1597)527680 035 $a(OCoLC)1149433196 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783839448892 035 $a(Bielefeld University Press)9783839448892 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6956096 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6956096 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011249227 100 $a20220221d2020 uy 0 101 0 $aspa 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCrisis civilizatoria$eExperiencias de los gobiernos progresistas y debates en la izquierda latinoamericana$fEdgardo Lander, Santiago Arconada Rodri?guez 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aBielefeld$cBielefeld University Press$d2020 215 $a1 online resource (176 p.) 225 0 $aPolitikwissenschaft 2020 225 0 $aAfrontar las crisis desde Ame?rica Latina$v5 311 $a3-8376-4889-3 327 $aFrontmatter 1 I?ndice 7 Introduccio?n 9 La crisis terminal del patro?n civilizatorio de la modernidad colonial 14 Los gobiernos progresistas latinoamericanos ante la crisis civilizatoria 58 Los debates de las izquierdas en torno a las luchas anticapitalistas actuales en Ame?rica Latina 105 Bibliografi?a 152 AUTOR 174 330 $aEn el contexto de la profunda crisis civilizatoria que vive la humanidad, se da igualmente una severa crisis de las izquierdas en diferentes partes del mundo. Las propuestas alternativas que fueron representadas por los denominados gobiernos progresistas en Ame?rica Latina, en lo fundamental, fracasaron en te?rminos de los objetivos que se transformadores que se propusieron. La incapacidad de la izquierda »oficial« para reflexionar cri?tica y autocri?ticamente sobre estas experiencias impide aprender de e?stas, con lo cual no puede sino profundizarse la crisis de dicha izquierda como alternativa al capitalismo y, ma?s ampliamente, a civilizacio?n en crisis. 410 0$aAfrontar las crisis desde América Latina 606 $aCrisis Civilizatoria; Gobiernos Progresistas; Izquierda; Alternativas Al Desarrollo; Colapso Clima?tico; Extractivismo; Estadocentrismo; Soziale Ungleichheit; Politik; Globalisierung; Kommunalpolitik; Politische Ideologien; Kapitalismus; Lateinamerika; Bielefeld University Press; Civilization Crisis; Progressive Governments; Left; Alternatives To Development; Climate Collapse; Extractivism; State-centrism; Social Inequality; Politics; Globalization; Local Affairs; Political Ideologies; Capitalism; Latin America; 610 $aAlternatives To Development. 610 $aBielefeld University Press. 610 $aCity. 610 $aClimate Collapse. 610 $aExtractivism. 610 $aLatin America. 610 $aLeft. 610 $aLocal Affairs. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aProgressive Governments. 610 $aState-centrism. 610 $aUrban Planning. 615 4$aCrisis Civilizatoria; Gobiernos Progresistas; Izquierda; Alternativas Al Desarrollo; Colapso Clima?tico; Extractivismo; Estadocentrismo; Soziale Ungleichheit; Politik; Globalisierung; Kommunalpolitik; Politische Ideologien; Kapitalismus; Lateinamerika; Bielefeld University Press; Civilization Crisis; Progressive Governments; Left; Alternatives To Development; Climate Collapse; Extractivism; State-centrism; Social Inequality; Politics; Globalization; Local Affairs; Political Ideologies; Capitalism; Latin America; 676 $a324.2807 700 $aLander$b Edgardo$pUniversidad Central de Venezuela, Venezuela$4aut$0967945 701 $aArconada Rodri?guez$b Santiago$f1954-$01222023 712 02$aBMBF$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996359643703316 996 $aCrisis civilizatoria$92834020 997 $aUNISA
