Youth Participation in Europe: Beyond Discourses, Practices and Realities

Editat de Patricia Loncle, Morena Cuconato, Virginie Muniglia, Andreas Walther
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2012
In a period when social unrest and youth dissatisfaction has manifested itself through highly public protests, the question of youth participation in democratic societies is at the forefront. This book offers a fresh look at youth participation, examining official and unofficial constructions of participation by young people in a range of sociopolitical domains. It explores the motivations and rationales underlying official attempts to increase participation among young people and offers a critique of those various efforts’ effectiveness. Based on original research data from a significant study, it provides a thorough analysis of an important sector of democratic societies.

Recenzii

"This book brings together a number of important debates about youth participation in sociology, social policy and political science."

"This edited collection, drawing on the contributors’ involvement in European-level research and other inquiry, interrogates the complexity of the idea of youth participation. It represents an important corrective to the bland, arguably naive, positions that too often prevail."
