从关于民间社会的辩论中提出的问题的角度来分析参与志愿协会的情况。在界定了公民社会与社区、市场和国家的关系之后，对现代化和个人化对志愿服务的负面影响以及志愿服务对社会资本和公共话语的积极影响提出了期望。1990年世界价值数据用于国际和国际分析。无论是对13个西方国家的排名，还是对美国、荷兰和意大利的深入分析，都不支持对现代化影响的担忧思考。参加志愿协会有助于社会凝聚力和政治民主的观点得到了经验上的支持。在这方面，仅仅是一个协会的会员身份和这种协会内的实际志愿服务似乎都很重要。
Involvement in voluntary associations is analyzed from the perspective of questions raised in the debate about civil society. After demarcating the concept of civil society in relation to the community, the market, and the state, expectations are formulated about the negative effects of modernization and individualization on volunteering and the positive effects of volunteering on social capital and public discourse. World Values 1990 data are used for inter- and intranational analyses. Neither rankings of thirteen Western nations nor in-depth analyses of the U.S., the Netherlands, and Italy support worried reflections about the effects of modernization. The Idea that involvement in voluntary associations is conducive to social cohesion and political democracy finds empirical support. Both mere membership of an association and actual volunteering within such an association appear to be important in this respect.
