After unpicking key concepts including 'political participation, ' 'generations, ' the 'political life-cycle, ' and the 'youth vote, ' Pickard draws on a combination of quantitative and qualitative research to trace the dynamics operating in electoral political participation since the 1960s. This includes the relationship between political parties, politicians and young people, youth and student wings of political parties, electoral behaviour and the lowering of the voting age to 16. Pickard goes on to discuss personalised engagement through what she calls young people's (DIO) Do-It-Ourselves political participation in online and offline connected collectives. The book then explores young people's political dissent as part of a global youth-led wave of protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThis holistic book will appeal to anyone with an interest in young people, politics, protest and political change.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Pickard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137577878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137577870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.13d","brand":"Sarah Pickard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087679926527,"sku":"9781137577870","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d3a801f5-67cf-4542-9490-afed3274184f.jpg?v=1769100802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/politics-protest-and-young-people-sarah-pickard-9781137577870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
