Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper we seek to explain why even the most activist of citizens, working in openly democratic settings, may fail to politicise issues close to their hearts, whereas others succeed, even while facing clientelism and other political constraints. In so doing, we take a meso-sociological approach to argue that group styles, which are recurring interaction patterns arising from a group’s everyday understandings of what it takes to be a good member, link social groups to national democratic models and are therefore responsible for being more or less conducive to politicisation.
