Comparisons of Civic Engagement in Europe: Evidence from European Values Study

Summary/Abstract: The research is focused on the nature of civic engagement across European countries and its prediction, based on European Values Study data (2008). A model of civic engagement which includes scales of civic concern, civic confidence, non-violent elite-changing actions and organizational activities, which has been tested both on cross-country level and in pooled data, implies two factors, correspnding to "congnition" and "activity" parts of civic engagement. An attempt is made to envisage and conceptualize the preditors of civic engagement in different parts of Europe with the help of classical OLS regression and multilevel regression modelling, in such a way testing research hypotheses.
