A CA SE OF THE QUALITY OF NON-PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS: REFLEXIVE NON-PARTICIPATION

Summary/Abstract: The essence of the quality of politics is not just participation or non-participation: it is the (re)solution of social or national problems. The guarantee of the quality of politics is a professional politician and an informed and knowledgeable citizen. The increasing complexity of public problems calls for professional politics, and increasingly complex public politics creates a need to mobilize specialized knowledge. In that case, it is logically consistent and practically useful to leave no place for incompetent participation in politics. However, more and more competent citizens take no part in politics, at least in the traditional sense. Does this actually limit the quality of politics?
