Abstract

Sudjelovanje građana u politici definirajuće je obilježje demokracije, a priroda i količina političkog sudjelovanja građana mogu značajno utjecati na razinu kvalitete demokracije. Za jačanje kvalitete demokracije u budućnosti, posebno je važno razumijevanje načina na koji mladi ljudi sudjeluju ili se suzdržavaju od politike jer briga oko političkog sudjelovanja mladih u osnovi je generalna briga oko budućeg funkcioniranja demokratskih institucija. Cilj ovog preglednog rada je razlikovanje utjecaja specifičnih čimbenika na politički angažman mladih i propitivanje u kojoj se mjeri nalazi o političkom sudjelovanju mladih u Hrvatskoj, kao novijoj demokraciji, razlikuju s onima u Njemačkoj, to jest u etabliranoj demokraciji. Primijenjena je komparativna studija dvije zemlje te su sekundarnom analizom obrađena istraživanja i studije hrvatskih i njemačkih istraživača. S obzirom da se socijalna i politička iskustva današnje mladeži u Hrvatskoj razlikuju od onih u Njemačkoj, nedostatak komparativne analize demokracija predstavlja prazninu u našem znanju.

Abstract (english)

Citizen participation in politics is a defining feature of democracy, and the nature and degree of political participation of citizens can significantly affect the level of quality of democracy. To strengthen the quality of democracy in the future, it is particularly important to understand how young people participate or abstain from politics because caring about the political participation of young people is basically a general concern about the future functioning of democratic institutions. The aim of this thesis is to distinguish the influence of specific factors on the political engagement of young people and to question the extent to which the political participation of young people in Croatia, as a newer democracy, differs from that in Germany, that is in an established democracy. A comparative study of the two countries was applied, and researches and studies of Croatian and German researchers were processed by secondary analysis. Given that the social and political experiences of today's youth in Croatia differ from those in Germany, the lack of a comparative analysis of democracies represents a gap in our knowledge.
