Summary/Abstract: The reconstruction of the social space during the post-communist period in Romania is connected with the social representation of the citizens regarding politics. In this respect we are interested to identify some of the key motivating factors of the political and electoral participation and non-participation. In this study we try to realize a comparative analysis of electoral behaviour of youth and other age-cathegories. Our starting point was the fact that youth is the most „non-participative” electoral cathegory in post-communist Romania.
