The Civic Network: A Comparative Study of the Use of Social Media for Enhancing Young People's Political Engagement, Australia, United Kingdom, & United States, 2013

This collection explores how the use of online technologies relates to young peoples' political activity and whether such technology use differs according to social background. These issues are examined in three countries: Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The comparative project asks questions about how differing national contexts relate to youth culture and to civic motivations and behaviors. The study builds on and extends single-country cases or multi-country survey research that uses narrow and standardized measures.
