This book aims to shed light on the links between age, generation, life cycle and politics. It dissects, through philosophy, history, political science, sociology or even psychology, the multiple historical, cultural and social parameters that underlie the effects of age. The politicization of individuals over the years is analyzed in its various aspects: construction of ideological and political choices, relationship to voting and abstention, partisan commitment, participation in collective mobilizations... It appears that the political implications of age biological are tenuous. On the contrary, social and biographical age or even generational belonging are decisive. A reflection on the social uses and recompositions of age in contemporary democracies, with a look at other European countries and the Arab world.
