This article explores the linkage between different conceptualizations of democracy and forms of political participation. Specifically, it examines the correlates of conventional and unconventional modes of political participation, especially in light of three major understandings of democracy, namely liberal, redistributive, and authoritative understandings. This article maintains that different notions of democracy have their unique relationships with different forms of political participation. The article argues that people with a predominantly liberal notion of democracy are expected to partake in both conventional and unconventional modes of political participation, whereas those with an authoritative understanding of democracy are relatively more hesitant to take part in both forms. Finally, citizens with a redistributive notion of democracy are expected to appear more in unconventional forms of political participation, such as boycotts and lawful demonstrations. We test our arguments based on a global and up-to-date dataset and a multilevel framework, which covers more than 100,000 democratic citizens across the globe.

Creating democratic citizens: what people understand from democracy and how this understanding influences their political participation
Bülbül, Asya; Çınar, Süleyman Kürşat; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2020)
The aim of this thesis is to examine the influence of different conceptualizations of democracy by ordinary citizens on their political participation. In this thesis, it is argued that an important variable has been neglected in the political participation literature, namely, the conceptual definitions people offer when they are asked to define what democracy is. To test this hypothesis, the definitions of democracy by people are divided into three categories: redistributive understanding, authoritative und...
Democracy in the discourse of Justice and Development Party
Güneş, Aysun; Yıldırım, Erdoğan; Department of Sociology (2014)
The aim of this thesis is to understand the democracy in the discourse of Justice and Development Party (JDP). This is done by examining the discourse of democracy within the frame of JDP‟s conservative democratic identity. JDP makes a separation as old and the new Turkey and claims that JDP government represents the new Turkey. Therefore, this thesis tries to explain which elements the discourse of democracy includes and excludes on the basis of the separation between old and the new Turkey.
How Does Education Affect Political Trust?: An Analysis of Moderating Factors
Ugur-Cinar, Meral; Çınar, Süleyman Kürşat; KÖSE, TEKİN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-11-01)
This article aims to understand the correlates of political trust by delving into the multiple interactive effects of education in democratic states throughout the world. It asks whether education raises political trust by increasing the stakes of the citizens in the system and whether education diminishes trust as a result of being abler to evaluate the existence of corruption in a given country. It also taps into how post-materialism as an individual-level factor affects this equation by activating critic...

It will also attempt to refresh class analysis in order to develop a better understanding of different modalities of reproduction of labour quite often wit...
Candidate Teachers’ Democratic Attitudes and their Democratic Participation Level. – May 19-20, 2017
Özbek, Özlem Yeşim; Taneri, Pervin Oya (Gece Kitaplığı; 2017-12-17)

Formal and informal education is vital for the development of active citizenship, the quality of participation in a democratic society and the development of democratic cultures. teachers' roles in fostering the learning of democracy through active and participatory approaches are indispensable (Gollob et. al, 2007). Hence, the candidate ...
