- Political theorist Mark Warren once asked whether participation in democracy can make us “better” citizens. His “self-transformation thesis” pulled together writings by philosophers from John Stuart Mill and Jean-Jacques Rousseau to modern theorists such as Carole Pateman and Benjamin Barber. All of these writers pointed to the same basic idea—that democracy is a complex social process that requires civic attitudes and habits best developed through equally complex experiences.¹ We now know from a growing body of research that participation in public life can, under the right circumstances, inspire people to return to help tackle future problems in their community
