What the actual standard of such politically relevant knowledge ought to be is, however, under debate. While such debates reflect controversies in the meaning and purpose of democracy in normative democratic theory, empirical studies have made strides in assessing the level of actual political knowledge \u2013 the amount of factual political information possessed \u2013 of citizens. While earlier studies painted a dim picture of the general citizenry\u2019s level of political knowledge, current empirical studies have shown that political knowledge is distributed surprisingly equally among the populace, with most citizens possessing at least an adequate level of political knowledge. The extremes of the politically well-informed and the politically uninformed, however, do exist.\nThese empirical findings are important for democratic theorizing because political knowledge affects political participation, perhaps one of the main issues in normative democratic theory. However, while empirical studies have furthered our understanding of the actual level of political knowledge as well as its effects to political behaviour, normative democratic theory rarely resorts to empirical evidence as construed by empirical political scientists. This leads to undertheorizing and missed opportunities in synthesizing empirical and normative findings for the purpose of advancing democratic thought and innovations.\nIn my thesis I study Robert Alan Dahl\u2019s democratic theory in the light of empirical evidence about political knowledge. I try to answer two questions: \u201cWhat should citizens really know about politics according to Dahl?\u201d and \u201cHow such knowledge about politics could be measured?\u201d\nI review Dahl\u2019s democratic theory and use his ideas relevant to questions about citizen competence and political knowledge as potential sources for operationalization and measurement. I found that Dahl\u2019s theorization on citizen knowledge and political competence were underdeveloped but could be potentially tied to current research on political knowledge. I also propose that Dahl\u2019s normative theory could be used as a guideline for future research in political knowledge and in democratic innovations.\nKey words: democratic theory, enlightened understanding, political knowledge, political sophistication, Robert Alan Dahl", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "abstract", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Submitted by Miia Hakanen (mihakane@jyu.fi) on 2020-02-10T06:18:11Z\nNo. of bitstreams: 0", "language": "en", "element": "description", "qualifier": "provenance", "schema": "dc"}, {"key": "dc.description.provenance", "value": "Made available in DSpace on 2020-02-10T06:18:11Z (GMT).
