HORBATH, Jorge E.  e  GRACIA, Ma. Amalia. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION OF MEXICAN YOUTH IN THE SOCIAL AND DEMOCRATIC CONSTRUCTION OF THE COUNTRY AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURY. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2013, vol.8, n.1, pp.137-160. ISSN 1909-3063.

In this article, rather than a definition of what should be public participation, what we wish is to find out which are the determinants of civic participation among Mexican youth. This seems very important because in the young and in the construction of citizen participation are the foundations of a society in sound democratic systems. Also, the next generation of the population can educate future societies to consolidate democratic processes. Generational change in the democratic system in Mexico is forcing processes that give greater participation of young people in the democratic life of the country, strengthening transparency in democratic institutions to boost the credibility of the young population, which now has higher education and its critical skills to election proposals keeps increasing.
