“Participation and its Discontents”
Gianpaolo Baiocchi, Pablo Lapegna, Phil Lewin and David Smilde are organizing a special session of the Political Sociology Section for ASA 2014 called “Participation and its Discontents.” The primary goal is to have an open discussion of promises and pitfalls of political participation.

So far we have posted an opening agenda, minutes from a meeting we had during ASA in NY last year, and a post discussing the term “cooptation.”
