In the latter half of 2000, the youth were questioned by political party organizations in a context with renewed expressions of militancy. This youth revitalization process was studied at the national level with an emphasis about meanings and values associated with youth and the building forms of militancy commitment. From a qualitative approach, this paper recovers the militant youth experiences from four political party organizations in the citiy of Resistencia, Chaco (Argentina), with the aim of analyzing their forms of participation and demands in order to identify the processes of inclusion and possible transformations inside the organizations.

We highlight as main findings that the context of youth mobilization has limited influences in the case of the organizations analyzed, and the revitalization processes that militant youth can mobilize are strongly dependent on the relationship between traditional ways of the organization in terms of local-national performances and the role of party elites. This supports the image of a youth that disputes positions and internal transformations as generational demands on the most conservative organizations compared to others where they are located in higher hierarchical spaces.

Keywords : youth; revitalization; Chaco; militancy; political party organization.
