Abstract

Extant studies document a decrease in political participation in most European economies in recent decades; the trend has been more pronounced for youth. Although studies suggest that, at least for youth, traditional modes of participation have been widely replaced with broader civic engagement, little empirical evidence is available for the post‐transition economies, particularly on the sub‐national economy level. By relying on the survey conducted in the spring of 2021, the paper explores differences in the forms of youth engagement in Croatia, disaggregated by settlement size. The focus is on different forms of engagement as well as youth profiles. Los estudios existentes documentan una disminución de la participación política en la mayoría de las economías europeas en las últimas décadas, siendo esta tendencia más pronunciada en el caso de los jóvenes. Aunque los estudios sugieren que, al menos para los jóvenes, los modos tradicionales de participación han sido sustituidos en su mayoría por un compromiso cívico más amplio, se dispone de pocas pruebas empíricas para las economías posteriores a la transición, especialmente a nivel de economía subnacional. Partiendo de la encuesta realizada en la primavera de 2021, este artículo examina las diferencias en las formas de compromiso de los jóvenes en Croacia, desglosadas por tamaño de los asentamientos. El foco de atención se centra en las diferentes formas de compromiso, así como en los perfiles de los jóvenes. 現在の研究は、ここ数十年においてほとんどの欧州経済で政治参加が減少していることを指摘しているが、この傾向は若年者に顕著である。研究から、少なくとも若年者にとっては、伝統的な参加方法がより広範な市民参加に広く取って代わられたことが示唆されているが、移行後の経済、特に地方経済レベルでは、その実証的なエビデンスはほとんど得られていない。本稿では、2021年春に実施された調査を基に、クロアチアにおける若年者の政治参加の形態の違いを、居住地の規模別に検討する。若年者のプロフィールの違いだけでなく、様々な形の政治参加に焦点を当てる。
