Sarah Pickard offers a detailed and wide-ranging assessment of electoral and non-electoral political participation of young people in contemporary Britain, drawing on perspectives and insights from youth studies, political science and political sociology. This comprehensive book enquires into the approaches used by the social sciences to understand young people’s politics and documents youth-led evolutions in political behaviour. 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. This holistic book will appeal to anyone with an interest in young people, politics, protest and political change.

This book provides insight into the diverse ways young people from around the world are regenerating politics in innovative and multifaceted ways. The authors, who include academics and activists, challenge claims that young people are apolitical, apathetic and living up to the ‘me-Generation’ stereotype. Contributions cover a rich body of case examples of traditional and new forms of youth politics in response to situated injustices and political and socio-economic crises. Significant and optimistic, the collection presents strong evidence from across the globe that these developments are not isolated incidences, but are in fact part of a systemic, large-scale transformation leading to a regeneration of the political landscape by young people. The book is aimed at students and scholars in the fields of politics, sociology, policy studies and youth and childhood studies.

Au seuil de l'ouvrage, Monica Charlot accueille le lecteur avec cette photo et ce sourire si fidèles à l'image que nous gardons d'elle. Celle d'une spécialiste de renom international, qui a consacré aux institutions politiques du Royaume-Uni l'essentiel de sa recherche et de son enseignement. Aussi est-ce le thème qu'ont choisi certains de ses collègues et amis de l'Institut du Monde Anglophone, à l'université Sorbonne nouvelle - Paris 3, pour lui rendre hommage dans cet ouvrage dédié à sa mémoire. Les contributions qui composent l'ouvrage s'inscrivent dans la diachronie, entre une ouverture consacrée à l'évolution de l'histoire politique et un épilogue, réflexion sur « l'art de la recherche créative ». Entre les deux sont évoqués le système électoral de l'Angleterre des Lumières vu par un caricaturiste, l'époque victorienne de Sherlock Holmes, la politique étrangère telle qu'elle est perçue par les journalistes de guerre, mais aussi le comportement des électeurs britanniques d'aujourd'hui, la formation des infirmières au début du XXe siècle, le problème actuel du logement dans le Grand Londres ou la politique britannique en matière de forêts et de reboisement à l'heure de l'écologie et du développement durable. Reflets des multiples facettes de ce que fut l'œuvre de Monica Charlot, ces articles sont un témoignage de reconnaissance, d'estime et d'amitié.
