[edit] A worldwide view?
A quick Google search suggests that the word 'abstentionism', with the meaning given here, has only ever been used in Ireland. Elsewhere, as far as I can see, it means abstaining from voting, or voting 'none of the above'.
Perhaps, instead of trying to give a worldwide view, the article should begin with a statement along the lines of "Abstentionism is a political strategy used in Ireland..."
