This issue investigates the complex and multifaceted relations between young people and politics at a time when a large majority of them express growing discontent towards democracy. Our study will focus on the United Kingdom and the United States, two major Western liberal democracies which lately have been undermined by several crises, among which the crisis of confidence in democracy. Through a number of theoretical analyses and field studies, the authors of this issue aim to propose a different narrative of young people who, too often, are blamed for their apathy, immaturity and disconnection from politics. In doing so, we will demonstrate that the disconnection primarily comes from a political class too absorbed by the ‘grey vote’ to address the needs and concerns of young people. Thus, this issue will show that if the political class has forsaken young people, young people on the other hand have not forsaken politics and have reinvented multiple forms of political engagement well beyond the traditional institutional frameworks.
