Young People’s Political Participation in Western Europe 
Continuity or Generational Change?

Are young people today politically ‚apathetic‘? Or are they democratically ‚mature‘ citizens? This book examines several types of involvement to reveal changes in young people’s political participation in Europe in recent decades. It uses various concepts of ‚age‘ to compare participation across countries and over time.
