Description
Debating Democracys Future. In recent years a growing debate has emerged over the political engagement of the young. From Australia, to North America, to Scandinavia, politicians and political analysts worry about young peoples absence from the polls and the consequences for democracy if this trend continues. This collection of essays describes the changing patterns of youth political participation, inequalities in participation among various social groups, and what reforms might stimulate greater youth participation.
