CARVALHO, Tiago. Modernity, social classes and political citizenship: Portugal in the international context. []. , 212, pp.650-674. ISSN 0003-2573.

The relationship between social classes and citizenship is a central element in citizens’ observation of different forms of power and influence in the Nation-State in Modernity. Based on a typology of political citizenship that identifies different forms of activism and involvement and using European Social Survey 2002 data, with Portugal at the center of an international analysis, we seek to understand its specificities in a European context. There is an overall effect of social classes, even if there are differences between European regions. Portugal stands out in the importance of the holders of cultural capital.
