MILNER, HENRY. The Internet Generation: Engaged Citizens Or Political Dropouts.
University Press of New England: 2010. First Edition. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book.
Despite rising levels of education and mounting calls for increased democratic participation, recent years have seen a significant decline in voter turnout in many countries, and the erosion of the sense of civic duty that brought earlier generations to the polls. Henry Milner looks at the United States, Canada, Britain, Scandinavia, and the European Union to probe the decline of youth voting and attentiveness to politics, and draw lessons about institutions that could break down the wall between political life and "real" life that underlies political abstention among the Internet generation. Civic education is the key to instill habits of attentiveness to public affairs, especially among potential political dropouts. Milner sets out a series of ways to bring the issuesÑand the political parties' stance on themÑto the classroom, including visits, simulations, and innovative use of media, old and new.
