It also delivers a set of thinking tools that enable political theorists to better understand the motivational aspect of political agency, as well as suggestions on how even seemingly hopeless situations can be addressed by determined bottom-up efforts. Readers will come away from the book with a new perspective on political agency and the problems of encouraging democratic participation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"FI\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: FI; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoonas S.
