Crisis and transformation of the party system in Spain. A generational approach (2011-2018)

Abstract

This work addresses the crisis and the transformation of the party system in Spain during the second decade of the 21^th century from a generational perspective. It will be devoted to the study of the evolution of the electoral participation of the Spanish youth during the political crisis of the country, understanding by “youth” to those members of the generation born during the Governments by Felipe González (1982-1996). Closely linked to this monitoring, we will analyze the way in which the transformation of the electoral habits of this generation in relation to the previous ones, marked by its majority commitment to regeneration options, had an impact on the acceleration of the generational renewal of the Spanish political class. currently one of the youngest in Europe.
