The self-perceptions of Asian Pacific American (APA) youth about their participation in mainstream political activities were collected from in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observation, & reflective writings. Within schools, students normally participate in politics through running for office in student government or join or lead student organizations, but the APA youth data shows that these youth, especially immigrant youth, may not have equal opportunity to participate. Civil rights reports state that Asian American youth tend to encounter discrimination in their classrooms. APA social & cultural clubs exist, but not enough to offer experience with leadership & empowerment. The contributions of family & community to political socialization are discussed; these social domains are often out of touch with the needs of youth. More needs to be done to link the goals & processes of youth development with civil development in this population. M. Pflum

Der Beitrag analysiert das politische Engagement Jugendlicher in Europa. Der Beitrag setzt sich dabei mit der These auseinander, dass Jugendliche in Europa sich immer weniger in der konventionellen Politik engagieren. Die Autoren verweisen darauf, dass diese Aussage nicht für das politische Interesse Jugendlicher allgemein zutrifft. Der Fokus des Beitrags liegt auf Muster politischer Sozialisation, die das politische Engagement Jugendlicher fördern und die einen Ausgangspunkt für politische Partizipation bereitstellen. Die Analyse basiert auf Daten der ICC-Studie zur Bürgerbildung, die in 32 Staaten durchgeführt wurde (hauptsächlich in europäischen Ländern, in südamerikanischen Ländern und in einigen wenigen asiatischen Ländern). Der Beitrag erläutert die Operationalisierung des Konzepts und stellt anschließend die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung vor. (ICA2).

Declining levels of youth participation in conventional politics raise concerns about the future of representative democracies. Based on statistical analyses of public opinion survey data, this paper examines youth civic and political disengagement as symptoms of social exclusion. Our findings point out that youth are a heterogeneous group and vulnerable young people living in the European Union face the risk of multiple exclusions that mutually reinforce each other: from the labor market, from education and from the democratic life of their societies. Thus, youth who are neither in education, nor in employment or training (NEET) tend to be the most politically marginalized group of young people in European democracies. Acknowledging the interplay between various dimensions of youth social exclusion provides valuable theoretical, methodological and policy insights for reducing youth marginalization and breaking the vicious circle that perpetuates it.

"There is evidence of a possible politicisation of consumption in Brazil, similar to what has been occurring in other countries. In this process, consumption attitudes, behaviours, and practices are perceived and used as a way of participation and political action. Theories of post-materialism and hypotheses of mistrust in relation to political institutions have been used as an explanation for this phenomenon. However, little is known about the use of political consumption by young adults in Brazil. To explore this field, a quantitative study was conducted to analyze perceptions, interests, forms of engagement, personal and institutional trust, and political practices of young adults. In this article the study is presented as well as the results obtained. Results show that, in Brazil, involvement in political consumption is low, with little variation regarding social and economic class, age and school level." (publisher's description)
