Bakioğlu, Müge
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how adolescents perceive politics, what kind of an impact politics has on their lives and how adolescents regard political participation. This study will also contribute to reveal how the new generation regards the political paradigm/s of our times. Perceptions, views, beliefs and evaluations of adolescents who are at the crossroad of their political socialization since they are about to change their social roles, may also shed light on the question how politics and political paradigm will evolve within this context. Findings of the study may contribute to rebuild the present codes of politics, politization and political participation.
