Associations and Activism

Studies of Latin American civil society tend to assume that popular organizations promote "high-intensity" forms of political participation while political parties mainly encourage voting. This study compares the influence of these two forces in the urban informal sector. Association involvement, low in both samples, is related to "higher-intensity" participation, but the differential influence of associations and parties holds only for Costa Rica; Nicaragua's revolutionary FSLN has fostered a more politically active citizenry
