Citizens of the World: Political Engagement and Policy Attitudes of Millennials across the Globe
The book explores the political attitudes and behaviors of Millennials, in comparison to older adults, across eight countries: Australia, Chile, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The book argues that Millennials share a core persona, one that differentiates between a traditional and emerging global identity that shapes news consumption, political attitudes, civic engagement, public service, and beliefs about the ability to enact political change. As Millennials begin their rise to positions of leadership around the world, evidence from the Global Millennial Survey suggests that they will bring a new approach to how they address the world’s challenges.

The rapid growth of the U.S. Latino population necessitates an exploration into how well this group’s increased presence translates into legislative influence.

In one of the only in-depth accounts of Latino legislative behavior, the book offers insights into the variable role of ethnicity at different stages of the legislative process. The results are consequential for the way Latinos are represented.
