> During the last decade there has been an increasing literature

> impression, supported by part of the academic literature, that
> young people are
> retreating from politics, some authors have suggested that what is
> taking place
> is a change in the meanings and the ways in which young people are
> participating in politics. Also, there have been an increasing
> number of
> initiatives both on the part of international organizations, of some
> governments and of the civil society trying to engage young people
> in different
> ways of political participation. We are interested in papers
> related with the
> different aspects of this debate and, more specifically we would
> like to
> receive proposals for papers

> - Identifying general trends about the forms of political
> participation
> that young people are moving away from (Voting? All party-related?)
> and the
> ones that may be substituting them (Protest? Political consumerism?
> Volunteering?), if any.
> - Suggesting ways to disentangle life-cycle and cohort effects. Is
> there
> something new about the ways in which young people relate to
> politics nowadays?
> - Identifying new forms of political participation amongst young
> people
> (new ICTs
> )
> - Linking possible new meanings of politics to new forms of political
> participation amongst young people
> - Identifying the profile of those young people who participate as
> well
> as the different profiles of those who participate in different
> forms of
> political participation
> - Identifying sources of political socialization (family, media,
> school,
> political parties, associations
> ) that facilitate more participative attitudes
> and behaviours amongst young people.
> - Analyzing the results of policy initiatives to promote political
> participation amongst young people
> - Analyzing the effects of education for citizenship and political
> participation (and between different approaches and contents in
> education for
> citizenship and different forms of political participation)
> Although not exclusively, we especially welcome papers with
> empirical material,
> whether quantitative or qualitative.
