The institutionalization of practices of civic and political participation has been a clear objective of both New Right and New Labour governments and more recently of the coalition government led by the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Regardless of the ideological differences, across time active citizenship has developed assuming common patterns, with specific characteristics that put emphasis on individual and collective responsibility, on the development of community cohesion to solve specific social problems and on the provision to the Third Sector of specific tasks in order to deliver public services. This approach is not free from ambiguities, as it is argued in the presentation of the data from the analysis. Activists vindicate their autonomy, claiming that New Labour reforms as well as the recent Big Society approach have been one sided and in some cases favored the emergence of coalition groups in spite of the survival of smaller organizations. The chapter also focuses on the active participation of British organizations in European networks and at the opportunities that EU funding has opened for activating projects of transnational solidarity. Under this perspective, the chapter presents some first insights on the scenarios opened by the Brexit and the consequences of the leave vote for civil society organizations.Article Citation Count: 0Book Part Citation Count: 0Active Citizenship: Policy Developments at the EU Level(Palgrave, 2017) Bee, Cristiano[Abstract Not Available]Editorial Citation Count: 1Conventional versus non-conventional political participation in Turkey: dimensions means and consequences INTRODUCTION(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Kaya, Ayhan[Abstract Not Available]Editorial Citation Count: 5Determinants of young people's civic and political participation in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Kaya, AyhanThis special section provides a timely reflection on current debates that are of extreme relevance in order to gain a better understanding of the concepts of citizenship and active citizenship in Turkey by looking at the determinants of civic and political participation at the patterns of political and civic mobilization and at the orientations of political behaviour. Its originality stands on the specific focus on young people in comparison to other age groups. The different papers remark upon the importance that the reframing of the notions of citizenship and active citizenship have in the Turkish context along with the determinants that make this remark more relevant than ever.Book Part Citation Count: 0Engagement and Participation: Opportunities and Challenges for the Organized Civil Society in the EU(Palgrave, 2017) Bee, Cristiano[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Citation Count: 0Europeanization, Public Sphere, and Active Citizenship(Palgrave, 2017) Bee, Cristiano[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Citation Count: 2The Gezi Movement Under a Connective Action Framework: Enhancing New Forms of Citizenship via Social Media(Palgrave, 2017) Chrona, Stavroula; Bee, Cristiano[Abstract Not Available]Book Part Citation Count: 1Insights on the Social Construction of Europe: Patterns in the Permanent State of Euro-Crisis(Palgrave, 2017) Bee, Cristiano[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation Count: 9Youth activists and occupygezi: patterns of social change in public policy and in civic and political activism in Turkey(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Bee, Cristiano; Chrona, StavroulaThe research puzzle that our paper focuses on is the struggle of youth organizations to have their voice heard in public policy processes. We examine the implications of occupygezi in establishing or not a new relationship with the political domain and policy makers in Turkey. By drawing on a policy analysis framework this paper looks at whether occupygezi opened up new windows of opportunities for social and political change for youth activists in Turkey. In doing so we rely upon the results of a number of in-depth interviews conducted in 2015/16 in Turkey with representatives of youth organizations.
