Накратко на български

Връзката между развитието на мозъка при младежи от 11 до 21 години и начина, по който те възприемат политическа информация. Това помага да се разбере защо младите хора губят интерес към демокрацията и как да се насърчи тяхното участие в обществото.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Politics of Adolescence and Democracy

IP-PAD (Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Politics of Adolescence & Democracy) addresses a timely and pressing societal question: how the developing cognition and brain of young adolescents influences how they process political information and their political behaviour. Across Europe, trust in democratic institutions is under pressure. Political polarization, disinformation, and declining voter turnout are eroding democratic resilience. At the same time, youth disengagement from politics is rising, and satisfaction with democracy is particularly low among younger generations. These developments point to a structural challenge: if today’s adolescents become tomorrow’s disengaged citizens, the long-term health of liberal democracies is at risk. Yet despite their importance, we still know relatively little about how adolescents — especially those aged 11 to 21 — form political opinions and develop democratic commitments. IP-PAD responds to this challenge by combining insights from political science, psychology, and neuroscience. It brings together traditionally separate literatures on political engagement and adolescent development, and seeks to understand how cognitive, emotional, and social processes shape political learning during adolescence. The project aims to establish an interdisciplinary knowledge base and train a new generation of researchers equipped to study political development across disciplinary boundaries. IP-PAD’s scientific objectives are complemented by societal goals: building an evidence base to support youth democratic engagement and informing interventions and policy. With its unique data collection efforts, innovative methods, and strong academic-practitioner links, IP-PAD is well positioned to shape future research, policy, and practice around youth and democracy in Europe.

Цел на проекта

IP-PAD (Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Politics of Adolescence & Democracy) aims to address a timely, pressing societal issue, namely the understanding of how young adolescent citizens process political information and how this affects their engagement with politics. Youth engagement with politics has always been crucial for the future of democracy as the adolescents of today become the voting citizens of tomorrow. Their political engagement seems even more important today as we have witnessed a decline in youth satisfaction with democracy, while at the same time the social and political challenges of climate change, misinformation, declining voter turnout, polarization and radicalization raise concerns about the future of liberal democracies in Europe. To address these aims, IP-PAD will integrate, for the first time, in a systematic, rigorous and mutually beneficial way two main areas of research: first, the extensive literature on youth political engagement from the perspective of political and social sciences; and second, the insights on the wide-ranging changes that occur in the adolescent brain, obtained from the field of developmental psychology and neuroscience. While prolific in their own respect, these two perspectives have till now been kept separate. IP-PAD argues that a rigorous understanding of how adolescents process political information requires the integration of these two strands. IP-PAD will fill this gap by studying how the developing adolescent brain in the different sociopolitical contexts of five European countries underpins the emergence of the social, and eventually, political self. By integrating these two perspectives and in collaboration with three major European non-academic partners (European Youth Parliament, Gallup International, Counterpoint Global) IP-PAD will provide an in-depth interdisciplinary training to a young generation of social scientists in conducting open, rigorous, innovative and impactful research.
