Public Policymaking in a Democratic Society: A Guide to Civic Engagement by Larry N. Gerston. Volunteerism is again on the rise. Thousands are participating in AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve America, Campus Compact, and an array of other civic-minded efforts to improve life in our communities. At the same time, people profess a disdain for politics. Why the disconnect? In a democracy, politics – in one form or another – is the primary vehicle for citizens to influence the decisions and decision makers that shape public policy at every level in our society.
