Political Socialization of Younger Generations: Participation, Beliefs, Attitudes and Knowledge
RC42 session · XXI ISA World Congress of Sociology, Gwangju 2027
The session examines how recent global transformations — including crises related to globalization, misinformation, and political polarization — shape younger generations’ civic development. It invites scholarly contributions addressing: (1) the different agents of socialization and their role in acquiring knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, or behaviors relevant to the exercise of citizenship throughout life; (2) the social transformations and their impact on political socialization processes; and (3) the challenges that social shifts and generational differences put on current knowledge about political socialization processes.
