Abstract

In contrast to the events happened in other Latin-American countries, Argentina has experienced a revitalization of political party youth organizations in the last decade. This phenomenon has aroused academic attention, giving place to the emergence of a field of studies. The present article aims to be a conceptual contribution to the empirical research of this form of youth political participation. After a literature review about youth participation within political parties in Argentina and other Latin-American countries, the article presents conceptual suggestions for the study of these organizations, focusing on both their social environment and on the cultural, organizational and generational dimensions of youth. Hence, the article discusses some conceptual tools for exploring the recruitment and sociability spaces of political party youth organizations, in its partisan uses and meanings of youth, and on the engagement and mobilization processes of young activists.

Keywords:
