Young Citizens Young People's Involvement In Politics And Decision Making | Sociology

Recent years have witnessed growing concerns about the disengagement of young people from conventional politics both in Britain and internationally. Their non-participation is often viewed as reflecting both a deeper political alienation and 'apathy' amongst young people and a wider political malaise across western societies. Based upon a wide range of UK and European survey sources together with qualitative and policy-focused analyses this volume explores the attitudes of young people to politics and government in Britain and assesses the prospects for re-engaging young people with the formal political process. Young Citizens will be a valuable reference for academics researchers policy makers and practitioners in the fields of sociology social policy citizenship studies and youth studies. |Young Citizens Young People's Involvement in Politics and Decision Making | Sociology
