Abstract
Political socialisation is the deliberate inculcation of political information, values and practices by instructional agents which have been formally and informally saddled with that responsibility. Political participation describes the relationships between the state and society, and addresses such issues as how individuals and different groups organise to further their political interests, how citizens get involved in the political process and get represented in the political system, and how they influence policy-making in the state.
