9. Conventional and Unconventional Political Participation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The European Values Study (EVS) examines a 2008 snapshot of conventional and unconventional participation across the widely varying political and socio-economic landscape of Europe. The EVS data allow us to assess whether differences in political participation can be attributed to factors related to two distinct theoretical traditions that emphasize the importance of the national context; the first emphasizing the role of societal modernization and the second highlighting institutional features of societies; or to differences in the socio-economic composition of populations. This chapter addresses the following issues: (1) how do rates of conventional and unconventional participation vary between European countries; (2) to what extent can any variation be explained by macro-level differences in the context of countries rather than by differences in their population composition; and (3) to what extent are differences in the political-institutional context rather than in the level of modernization the most relevant macro-level differences explaining any variation. Keywords: conventional political participation; European Values Study (EVS); societal modernization; unconventional political participation

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
