The objective of this thesis is to analyse the phenomenon of youth abstentionism, investigating its main causes and repercussions on a political and social level. The first chapter will focus on the meaning of abstentionism and in particular on the phenomenon related to the younger generations, followed by a historical excursus on the history of Italian abstentionism and a comparison of the case of Italy with other European democracies. The second chapter will examine the elements that fuel young people's political disaffection, differentiating between institutional and non-institutional causes. The last chapter will discuss the consequences of low political participation on democratic legitimacy and possible new forms of political participation to curb abstentionism, mainly that of young people. The paper will thus investigate a phenomenon that could be central to the future of contemporary democracies.
L’obiettivo di questa tesi è analizzare il fenomeno dell’astensionismo giovanile, indagandone le cause principali e le ripercussioni sul piano politico e sociale. Il primo capitolo si focalizzerà sul significato dell’astensionismo e in particolare sul fenomeno connesso alle nuove generazioni, successivamente verrà presentato un excursus storico sulla storia dell’astensionismo italiano e un confronto tra il caso dell’Italia con altre democrazie europee. Il secondo capitolo esaminerà gli elementi che alimentano la disaffezione politica dei giovani, differenziando le cause istituzionali da quelle non istituzionali. Nell’ultimo capitolo si tratteranno le conseguenze della bassa partecipazione politica sulla legittimità democratica e nuove possibili forme di partecipazione politica per arginare l'astensionismo, principalmente quello giovanile. L’elaborato indagherà dunque un fenomeno che potrebbe essere centrale per il futuro delle democrazie contemporanee.

Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to analyse the phenomenon of youth abstentionism, investigating its main causes and repercussions on a political and social level. The first chapter will focus on the meaning of abstentionism and in particular on the phenomenon related to the younger generations, followed by a historical excursus on the history of Italian abstentionism and a comparison of the case of Italy with other European democracies. The second chapter will examine the elements that fuel young people's political disaffection, differentiating between institutional and non-institutional causes. The last chapter will discuss the consequences of low political participation on democratic legitimacy and possible new forms of political participation to curb abstentionism, mainly that of young people. The paper will thus investigate a phenomenon that could be central to the future of contemporary democracies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
