Abstract	The present work explores aspects of political thinking of Greek adolescents in relation to civic education. The chapter aims to investigate the relationship of social and political education, as taught in high-school, to students' concepts and attitudes centering on the way students (a) formulate attitudes towards anticipated political participation and (b) conceptualize democracy. The specific research questions refer to whether adolescents living in different cultural milieus develop different conceptions on issues of democracy and different practices of political participation. The analysis examines whether (i) there are differences in political concepts and practices among students; (ii) such differences are related to everyday experiences vis-a-vis prevailing concepts and attitudes that schooling aims at.
