摘要

摘要自1994年南非出现民主制度以来，新一代“天生自由人”已经能够投票。随着全世界正式政治参与的减少和青年中其他形式政治参与的增加，这项定性研究调查了比勒陀利亚地区青年的政治参与。从2014年到2018年，共进行了六次重点小组讨论。结果表明，种族隔离后的青年并不是一个单一的群体。一些年轻人热情高涨，认为投票是成年的一种仪式。此外，投票被视为一项宝贵的权利，是那些与种族隔离作斗争的人的义务，也是影响社会的一种方式。然而，一些黑人参与者对当前（旧的）政治领导层和政党表示冷漠和/或幻灭。不投票被认为是有意识的政治反对行为。得出了对南非民主的影响的结论。

Political Engagement and Opinions of Youth in Post-apartheid South Africa: A Qualitative Study

ABSTRACT Since the advent of democracy in South Africa in 1994, a new generation of ‘Born Frees’ have been able to vote. With a worldwide decrease in formal political engagement and a rise in alternative forms of political participation among the youth, this qualitative study investigates political engagement among youth from the Pretoria area. Six focus groups were conducted from 2014 to 2018. The results indicate that post-apartheid youth are not a monolithic group. Some youth were enthusiastic and regarded voting as a rite of passage to adulthood. Voting was, furthermore, perceived as a valued right, an obligation due to those who struggled against apartheid, and a way to influence society. However, some black participants voiced apathy and/or disillusionment with the current (older) political leadership and parties. Not voting was perceived as a conscious act of political opposition. Conclusions are drawn about the implications for the South African democracy.

期刊介绍： Politikon focuses primarily on South African politics, but not exclusively so. Over the years the journal has published articles by some of the world" leading political scientists, including Arend Lijphart, Samuel Huntingdon, and Philippe Schmitter. It has also featured important contributions from South Africa"s leading political philosophers, political scientists and international relations experts. It has proved an influential journal, particularly in debates over the merits of South Africa"s constitutional reforms (in 1983 and 1994). In the last few years special issues have focused on women and politics in South Africa, and the South African election of 1999.
