In this chapter, I explore some of the links that exist between three bundles of variables. Two of these are macrovariables that are tied together in the concept of (contemporary) democratic capitalism (Streeck 2010, 2011a): declining and unequal voter turnout. The third is the microvariable of individual citizens’ political participation. Participation is a multifaceted phenomenon (voting, joining, discussing politics, etc.) that requires references to various mesophenomena (political parties, associations) in order to be understood.
