Youth participation in context: the impact of youth transition regimes on political action strategies in Europe. Sociol Rev. 2015 Dec;63(2 Suppl):92-117. DOI: 10.1111/1467-954X.122640038-0261http://hdl.handle.net/10230/61220This article examines the impact of youth transition regimes (YTR) on the political participation strategies of young people from 26 locations in 12 European countries. The central hypothesis is that the way that youth transitions take place in different European contexts determines the position of youth as a group in the system of social relations that Bourdieu calls the ‘social space’. Depending upon this position, young people may be more inclined to participation through institutional channels or political protest, or, in contrast, remain inactive. Thus, the specific context of youth in each society (measured through the exposure to risk and vulnerability, the length of the pathway to adulthood and the role of the welfare state) plays a crucial role in defining young people's political action strategies. Multilevel logistic regression analysis using the MYPLACE survey, the specific operationalization of the YTR and other aggregate control variables reveal that YTR centrality is a very important contextual predictor for explaining different forms of political participation among young people in Europe.application/pdfengSoler-i-Martí R, Ferrer-Fons M, Youth participation in context: the impact of youth transition regimes on political action strategies in Europe, The Sociological Review (volume 63 and issue 2 Suppl) pp. 92-117.
