Public Policymaking in a Democratic Society: A Guide to Civic Engagement by Larry N. Gerston. Volunteerism is again on the rise.

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.
