Накратко на български
Незаконните политически дейности на младите хора, като например участието в неразрешени протести, се анализират през призмата на местния контекст и връзките с възрастните. Това помага да се разбере дали тези действия са форма на политически интерес, а не бягство от политиката.

Youth illegal political involvement in an intergenerational perspective
Combining the perspectives of youth studies with that of social movements studies the project Youthblocs has focused its attention on the analysis of young people' involvement in illegal political activities. Defined in terms of actions and behaviours that aim at influencing different audiences in order to achieve or impede political, social and/or cultural changes by using non-legal means, illegal political activities have been considered as a specific part of the broader cluster of political activities, generally referred to as unconventional political behaviours. While the youth choice to express political views through illegal modes has been frequently interpreted as one of the many faces of the widely reported "youth escape" from politics, Youthblocs has sought to understand these practices as integral part of young people's ways of expressing their interest in politics. In this perspective, the project has been guided by three main research questions: 1. What are the meanings young people ascribe to their involvement in illegal political activities?; 2. How and to what extent intergenerational relationships between young people and adults influence and shape youth illegal activities?; 3. How and to what extent the local context shapes the motivations and the forms of youth engagement in illegal political activities?

Цел на проекта
YOUTHBLOCS focuses its interest on the analysis of youth involvement in illegal political activities. During the last years, researchers and commentators have stressed a new upsurge of these type of political actions among the young people of Europe. This youth choice to express political views through illegal modes has been frequently interpreted as one of the many faces of the widely reported “youth escape” from politics that would find expression not so much in an expansion of a kind of political apathy among the younger generation, but in the growing of a preference for styles of political engagement that distance themselves from the conventional ways of being politically engaged. In this perspective, the widespread youth dissent towards the formal political sphere and its institutions and the manifestations of this dissent through illegal forms of involvement cannot be underestimated for both its current effects and potential consequences in terms of legitimacy and strength of the entire European social and institutional system. The proposed project intends to contribute to the understanding of illegal political activities and of their adoption by young people (18-30) through the conduction of a multidisciplinary mixed-method research in two different national contexts - Sweden and Italy - selected because of their differences in terms of current socio-demographic and economic conditions, participatory traditions and welfare systems. The research will be based on the adoption of an intergenerational perspective of analysis, involving young people and their “significant adults” in a study aimed at exploring and explaining the meanings and the practices related to this specific way of being engaged.
