Are immigrant youth involved in voluntary organizations more likely than their non-immigrant peers to be engaged in politics? Survey evidence from Norway
The aim of this paper is to examine the link between associational involvement and political participation among youth in Norway and how this link varies between boys and girls of an immigrant or non-immigrant background. We examine the relationship between activities in instrumental and expressive types of voluntary organizations. The paper draws on the survey Ung i Oslo 2015 (Young in Oslo 2015), which was carried out among students in almost a…
Young councillors—influential politicians or youth alibi
Based on a survey of young councillors in 20 Norwegian municipalities, the paper studies the relation between the councillors’ sense of political efficacy, their role perception and their motivation to continue with politics. The results indicate that those feeling they are expected to represent youth or who are nominated because of their age feel less influential than others. Influence in own party group and being acknowledged by established pol…

Rekruttering av unge folkevalgte - Nominasjoner, personstemmer og kontekst
Ungdom har gjerne vært underrepresentert i kommunestyrene, men andelen unge (18–25 år) kommunestyrerepresentanter økte ved kommunestyrevalget i 2011. Artikkelens første hovedspørsmål er hvilke etterspørselsfaktorer – partienes nominasjoner eller velgernes personstemmer – som bidrar til å fremme rekruttering av unge kommunepolitikere. Analysene viser at denne økningen i liten grad skyldes de politiske partienes innsats; det var velgerne som stemte…

Political participation in late modernity among Norwegian youth: An individual choice or a statement of social class
Past research has established socioeconomic status as a major determinant of political participation. This explanation has been challenged by sociologists such as Giddens and Beck, who claim that politics in late modernity has become influenced by social class and family tradition to a lesser degree than politics in the traditional industrial society. The authors discuss whether it is reasonable to claim that the youth of today demonstrate an ind…
Opposition and Integration in Norwegian Youth Networks: The Significance of Social and Political Resources, 1992—2002
In this article, we address how the social networks of Norwegian teenagers influence their formation of social and political resources. We distinguish between youth networks that are adult-managed and networks managed by the youth involved. The analysis is based on two representative surveys, Young in Norway 1992 and 2002. Based on a theoretical framework related to Putnam's theory of social capital, we discuss how young people's declining trust …
Political socialization and influence at the mercy of politicians: A study of a local participation project amongst young people in Norway
This article explores the following research questions: do local participation projects, such as youth councils, have a socializing effect on young people's political awareness; and do the young people involved attain power and influence in the local political field? The earliest and widely acknowledged political participation project among young people in Norway — the Porsgrunn Model — is used as a case study. This study includes two surveys sup…
