Democracy and Youth in the Digital Age

What happens to democracy when political participation increasingly takes place on digital platforms? This volume explores how social media, algorithms and AI are transforming the ways young people access information, form opinions and engage in public life. Contributions from researchers and practitioners across Europe bring together political theory, empirical research and educational perspectives to examine both the opportunities and risks of digital participation. Rather than portraying young people as disengaged, the volume highlights how they are reimagining democratic participation in a rapidly changing digital world.
