This book examines the political consequences of the economic
crisis in Southern Europe from the perspective of a widening
intergenerational divide. It focuses on the cases of Greece, Italy,
Portugal and Spain to fill the gap in the literature by examining
various age-related rifts in post-crisis Southern Europe. Public
discussion about the economic crisis of the late 2000s to mid-2010s
in Southern Europe often refers to its impact on the region's
younger citizens, but not enough attention has been given to the
political consequences of the crisis on the young. The comparative
studies in the volume cover various thematic areas, such as
electoral behaviour, political culture, democratic values, forms of
political engagement and political representation. The overarching
questions that the book attempts to answer are: a) to what extent
and in what areas can one talk about an emergent generational
divide in the region, and b) has the experience of the economic
crisis been profound enough for young South Europeans to create a
new 'crisis political generation'? Many of the answers offered
point to tangible effects of the crisis, but mostly in the sense of
accentuating dynamics that already existed. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of South European
Society and Politics.
