Sloam guest-edited this special issue of Parliamentary Affairs, contributing the introduction, a sole-authored article and a co-authored article. The volume was significant in bringing together leading scholars on young people’s politics in the UK (to Sloam’s knowledge, there have been no other recent attempts to do this) in light of low levels of youth participation in the UK and with reference to the findings of the recent Youth Citizenship Commission. The edited volume also acted as a springboard for the establishment of a specialist group on young people’s politics within the Political Studies Association.
