Community Energy in Germany
In this ground-breaking book, Jörg Radtke offers for the first time within research, a comprehensive insight into the range of organizational structures of community energy projects in Germany and their contribution to the Energiewende. Based on nationwide quantitative survey data and in-depth analyses of selected case studies of solar, wind and geothermal projects, Radtke documents the social structure and motivations of participating citizens. He examines new forms of material participation, community building and co-determination within the mostly volunteer-led community energy projects based on the civic engagement patterns of active “green citizens”. The author identifies a new form of individualistic participation and collective modes of action in line with new types of project-oriented participation between business, politics and civil society within sustainability transformation processes of the early 21st century.
Civil Society and Activism in Europe
This book examines the role of civil society organizations in several advanced European democracies: Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Specifically the book focuses on how voluntary organizations contribute to civic and democratic health and assesses the impact of different organizational types on social capital.

It evaluates the impact of the organizational context on individual activ...
Citizen Politics
Now, more than ever, people drive the democratic process. What people think of their government and its leaders, how (or whether) they vote, and what they do or say about a host of political issues greatly affect the further strengthening or erosion of democracy and democratic ideals. This fully updated new sixth edition of Citizen Politics: Public Opinion and Political Parties in Advanced Industrial Democracies, by Russell J. Dalton, continues to offer the only truly comparative study of political attitudes and behavior in the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. In addition to its comprehensive, thematic examination of political values, political activity, voting, and public images of government within a cross-national context, Citizen Politics explores new forms of political activity, such as Internet-based activism and new forms of political consumerism. All chapters have been updated with the latest research and empirical evidence. Further, Dalton includes new discussions of citizen sophistication and its implications for democratic citizenship.
Der politische Redner zwischen Macht und Verantwortung
Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Rhetorik / Phonetik / Sprechwissenschaft, Note: 2,1, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen (Philosophische Fakultät), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Öffentlichkeit der Deutschen Bundesrepublik erwächst zu Zeiten wirtschaftlicher Krisen der Eindruck, deutsche Politiker suchen Glanz und Gloria statt politisch relevante Entscheidungen. Dieser Eindruck kann nicht für alle Politiker pauschalisiert werden. Dass jedoch eine solche Mutmaßung in der Gesellschaft und den Medien vehement umgeht, ist unumstritten. Zwei deutsche Politiker, beide junge, moderne und aufstrebende Verfechter einer neuen politischen Führung, haben die gesellschaftliche P...
Keine Angst vor Politikmarken!
Diese Arbeit kann durch die Analyse einer repräsentativen Auswahl an Wahlplakaten der SPD nachweisen, dass es trotz der öffentlichen Tabuisierung bereits seit den 1960er Jahren zur Ausprägung von Politmarken kommt, d.h. zu Parteien- und Politikermarken.
