As illustrated in Figure 6, there are certain respondents whose participation level in
essentialized versus glocal spaces correlates clearly with their participation in all spaces.
These are respondents roughly placed on the diagonal of the graph in Fig.3.9. On the
other hand, the number of those who primarily prefer essentialized spaces is high (those
respondents placed close to the upper-left corner).
Figure 6. Distribution of Respondents’ Participation Patterns
Furthermore, those who primarily participate in glocal spaces have a higher participation
level in other channels of participation than those who primarily use the essentialized
spaces (respondents placed close to the bottom-right corner). These findings about
participation patterns should be interpreted based the fact that all the respondents are
attendants of the glocal spaces. The findings in Figure 6 show that most of them are also
frequent attendants of the other channels of participation. This and the patterns in
figures 7 and 8 strengthen one of the projects’ main assumptions that glocal spaces
entail persons whose political participation patterns are diverse and multiple.
