Participation:Wide range of active actions and non-active participatory actions
Interest in politicsKnowledge level of some institutional figures and information level
Non-vote motivationPuò dirmi qual è il motivo per cui non è andato a votare?+ “hot” and “cold” motivations
Political efficacy4 types of electors: “alienati”, “ostili”, “acquiescenti”, “attivi”

Limits Methodologically “poor” research
• scarcely cumulative
• scarcely explicited
(sometimes) complete methodological appendices
vs. (often)
