A social anxiety currently pervades the political classes of the
western world, arising from the perception that young people have
become disaffected with liberal democratic politics. Voter turnout
among 18-25 year olds continues to be lower than other age groups
and they are less likely to join political parties. This is not,
however, proof that young people are not interested in politics per
se but is evidence that they are becoming politically socialized
within a new media environment. This shift poses a significant
challenge to politicians who increasingly have to respond to a
technologically mediated lifestyle politics that celebrates
lifestyle diversity, personal disclosure and celebrity. This book
explores alternative approaches for engaging and understanding
young people's political activity and looks at the adoption of
information and ICTs as a means to facilitate the active engagement
of young people in democratic societies. Young Citizens in a
Digital Age presents new research and the first comprehensive
analysis of ICTs, citizenship and young people from an
international group of leading scholars. It is an important book
for students and researchers of citizenship and ICTs within the
fields of sociology, politics, social policy and communication
studies among others.
