    A Participatory Generation? The Generational and Social Class Bases of Political Activism in Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Inan, Murat; Grasso, Maria T.
    This research aims to understand the extent to which generation and social class determine Turkish respondents' level of political activism.

It also strives to understand whether a macropolitical period effect may also some generational implications for political activism. Beyond these examinations, it also raises a challenge to Lipset's working-class authoritarianism thesis - within the particular area of political activism - for those generations which came of age under an authoritarian politico-juridical order as well as for those which did not.
