The Symposium on Generations and Political Change brings together articles that focus on the role of generational differences in political behaviours and attitudes. As younger generations will be gradually replacing the older generations, generational difference informs us about potential political changes that lie ahead. This introductory article discusses the contributions that the articles make to the wider (and rapidly expanding) field of political socialisation and deduce from there some avenues for future research and data requirements.

West European Politics (WEP)has established itself as one of the most authoritative journals covering political and social issues in Western Europe. It has a substantial reviews section and coverage of all national elections in Western Europe. Its comprehensive scope, embracing all the major political and social developments in all West European countries, including the European Union, makes it essential reading for both political practitioners and academics.
