    Abstract: In its broadest sense political socialization refers to the content, processes, and dynamics of political learning across time and space. Related terms include civic education and citizenship training. The practice of political socialization is as old as political life. However, the term itself, and systematic research, did not emerge until the post-World War II period. An initial burst of scholarship in the 1960s and 1970s was followed by a prolonged decline. Interest revived during the 1990s, fueled in part by democratization movements around the world and, ironically, by concerns in established democracies about the declines in civic virtue among upcoming cohorts. The consequences of political socialization have been gauged in terms of its impact on the political character of individuals, the perpetuation of political cultures, and the functioning of political systems. Although most attention has been devoted to socialization in the pre-adult years, research in the area often merges into issues involving life cycle, generational, and historical effects. Survey research has been the most commonly employed methodology in the field. Longitudinal and cross-national research designs have been especially valuable in advancing the state of knowledge.
