Matto is an Associate Research Professor at the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University and directs the Institute's Center for Youth Political Participation Klappentext Citizen now offers a comprehensive description of the composition and behavior of young adults, an explanation and critique of the study of youth engagement, and a unique approach and methodology for appreciating how and why "citizen now" engages in politics and democracy. Citizen now considers youth political participation from the perspective of young adults themselves - specifically, young adults who've organized around an issue of great concern to Millennials, their economic well-being. The perfect text for undergraduates exploring the fundamentals of government, political behavior, and citizenship, this text's fresh take on the important subject of youth engagement offers both a path for future research and practical guidance on how to engage "citizen now" in politics and democracy. Zusammenfassung Citizen now charts a new research path in the study of the engagement of youth. Although their methods are varied and reflective of current technological tools! Citizen now argues that the tactics and motives of the groups reflect traditional political elements. -- .
