Francés, Francisco, Santacreu, Oscar Crisis política y juventud en España: el declive del bipartidismo electoral SocietàMutamentoPolitica. 2014, 5(10): 107-128. doi:10.13128/SMP-15408 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10045/44413 DOI: 10.13128/SMP-15408 ISSN: 2038-3150 Abstract: This paper shows the increasing trend of Spanish young people towards non-conventional mechanisms of political expression, in a crisis context which has reduced its reliance on traditional political actors. As an alternative to bipartisanship, political participation moves towards increased interest and attention to new players, such as emergent political parties. Using a covariance structural model, factors such as political activism, awareness and understanding of country problems, and trust in the political system, are explored in order to explain an electoral behavior that is undergoing deep changes.
