| Research Abstract |
Mass society theory tended to be forgotten in the Twentieth-Century history of democratic theory. Nevertheless, four points which mass society theory had presented continued to exist with different forms in arguments on civil society and citizenship in the latter half of the century : (a) atomization, (b) public participation with people's quasi-activity through manipulation, (c) sense of political ineffectiveness, and (d) massiveness of society. By the end of the century, citizenship as "public participation "and" social association" became to be discussed in the context of globalized, multicultural mass society.
