O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o papel do ensino de Geografia na formação cidadã. Inicialmente, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, foram discutidas as contribuições da ciência geográfica e do seu ensino para o debate em torno da efetivação da cidadania. Posteriormente, foi apresentado e discutido o projeto de ensino “Nos trilhos da Democracia”, que objetivou analisar e solucionar os problemas urbanos locais mediante a participação política dos alunos do C.E. Nelson Pereira Rebel, localizado em Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ. A pesquisa evidencia o potencial da escola como espaço de formação cidadã e a importância da Geografia Escolar nesse processo. O território se apresenta como um componente central - não como uma ilustração do conteúdo, mas um princípio para o desenvolvimento de práticas de educação para a democracia. Muito mais do que aprender sobre direitos e deveres, ou ainda sobre o funcionamento da organização político-administrativa do Brasil, é essencial que os alunos protagonizem ações de investigação e intervenção no território, compreendendo que a participação é a base de uma democracia efetiva.  Palavras-chave Geografia, Ensino, Cidadania, Território.   IN THE TRACKS OF DEMOCRACY: geography teaching in citizen's formation Abstract This paper has the objective of analyzing the role of Geography in citizen's formation. Firstly, through bibliographical research, we discussed the contributions of geographical science and its teaching to debate about the establishment of citizenship. After that, we presented and discussed the teaching project "In the tracks of Democracy", which aimed to analyze and solve local urban problems, by the political participation of the students from C.E. Nelson Pereira Rebel, located at the Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ. The research confirms the school's potential as a local to form citizens and confirms the importance of School Geography in this process. The territory presents itself as a main character - it would not be an illustration of content, but a principle to develop educational practices for democracy. Much more than learn about rights and duties, or the political-administrative organization, it is crucial that the students create and star investigation and intervention actions in the territory, understanding that the participation is the key to an effective democracy.  Keywords Geography, Teaching, Citizenship, Territory.

An effort has been made to revisit the political participation of Pakhtun women in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa former NWFP. The active role in the politics of Pakhtun women was quite difficult due to socio-cultural constraints. In such circumstances a woman from the elite class emerged on the political scene of NWFP; Begum Zari Sarfaraz who not only participated in the independence movement of Pakistan but also participated in politics after the creation of Pakistan and had rendered great services for women folk as members of national and provincial assemblies. The paper shed light on her opposition to One Unit. The paper also investigates the reason that why she quit politics. There is hardly any literature on the role of Begum Zari Sarfaraz in the politics of Pakistan.

This research examines the role of the personal contacting activities of the political parties as mobilizing forces in what Verba and Nie termed campaign activities. A reformulated rational choice model is discussed in which parties seek to reduce certain avoidable and unavoidable costs associated with political participation. Using data from the 1952 through 1994 American National Election Studies, it is shown that the party contact has been and continues to be a major factor in mobilizing campaign activists. Its influence is remarkably robust, maintaining statistical and substantive significance even after controlling for other important factors usually associated with political behavior.

This research aims to illustrate and analyze the role of local elites in increasing voter participation and impact of local elite involvement in North Toraja District Head Vice Regent and Vice Regent 2015 by using qualitative descriptive method. Data were obtained by using interviews as well as literature and document studies.The results indicate that local elites play a role in increasing participation in Pilkada in North Toraja according to their capacity. Local political elites socialize candidate pairs, become campaign teams and volunteer teams of candidates for regent / vice bupati candidates. Religious figures become part of the election organizers and socialize the implementation of Pilkada through religious activities. Adat leaders play a role by utilizing the charisma owned socialize information Pilkada to the community, build communication with the candidate pair then support it in the elections.The involvement of local elites in the implementation of North Sulawesi District Head Vice Regent and Vice Regent 2015 has a significant impact on the political participation of the community.

Abstract. Research on the political behavior of young people often approaches psychological factors such as political efficacy or interest as antecedents of political participation. This study examines whether efficacy and interest are also outcomes of participation and if this effect differs across three types of political participation. Data from a two-wave longitudinal survey of 768 Czech adolescents (aged 14–17 years at Time 1, 54% females) was used. Findings support the proposition that psychological factors are affected by participatory experiences. Cross-lagged models showed longitudinal effects from participation to changes in psychological factors, but not effects in the opposite direction. Protest participation predicted higher interest and internal political efficacy, but lower external political efficacy, volunteering predicted higher external political efficacy, and representational participation had no effects on psychological factors. Overall, our findings point out the formative role of participatory experiences in adolescence and the diverse effects of different types of political participation on political development.

Chapter 6 addresses the ways in which many Dominican activists interrogated the role of Balaguer’s government in the regulation of individual’s women’s lives and families and challenged many of its violent, dictatorial tendencies. Refuting the regime’s argument for a “revolution without blood,” many women described the government’s agenda to national and inter-American audiences as “blood without revolution” and continued to mobilize within the opposition through the discourse of motherhood and family. However, the chapter also looks at the many cracks developing in the discourse of maternalism that, coupled with an ever-deepening awareness of the tools and tactics of international second-wave feminism, pushed many women to challenge a model of political participation that constructed their roles in the political arena merely as nurturers and caretakers.

In the last 10 years, studies on political participation through social networks have marked the debate in the field of media studies. In Mozambique, particularly, and in the world, in general, youth represent the galvanizing centre that finds in the use of social networks an almost ideal tool of expression about their frustrations due to their situation of blatant social misery – unemployment and constant life uncertainty to which youth are exposed. With this article, we intend to analyse the role of social networks, specifically Facebook, in the political and social engagement of urban youth in Mozambique, considering a timeline that covers the last four years, 2014 to 2017. As a result, it is concluded that, despite the expansion of social networks in recent years, they cannot yet be considered as spaces for effective political participation by youth, due to the fact that the internet is less comprehensive, on the one hand, and the weak youth interest in political issues in Mozambique, on the other.
