Jóvenes en la política partidaria. Una aproximación a las organizaciones de juventud, vinculadas a los partidos políticos en Colombia

with respect to the speech promoted by a presumable apathy and disaffection of young people for the politics of parties, this essay is intended to give such assumption a relative sense from an approach to the ways of participation young people use in youth organizations and groups involved in political parties and movements in colombia. youth organizations involved in political parties and movements in colombia (with few exceptions) are away from creating ways of participation which can be deemed as juvenile themselves; they do are scenarios which promote ideological training and strengthening (or conservation at least) of practices and routines which have been a tradition in the dynamic of political parties. with respect to conclusions, it should be noticed that, despite the limitations and scarcity exhibited by youth organizations involved in political parties in colombia, their existence constitutes a point of support for survival and maybe revitalization and improvement of political parties which are institutions necessary for practicing democracy in depth, when there are no better institutions to replace them in societies as complex as the colombian one.
