apathy  

Definition

  • Apathy looks at first like a very broad, even vague concept. It plays, however, a very important and critical role in political analysis, particularly in the analysis of the decline in voting turnout and civic engagement and more generally in the study of participation and civic involvement of citizens. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Political Science; Apathy]
