Drawing on case studies from around the world, contributors to this
ground-breaking book explore a major contemporary paradox: on the
one hand, young people today are at the forefront of political
campaigns promoting social rights and ethical ideas that challenge
authoritarian orders and elite privileges. On the other hand, too
many governments, some claiming to be committed to
liberal-democratic values, social inclusion and youth participation
are engaged in repressing political activities that contest the
status quo. Contributors to this book explore how, especially since
9/11, governments, state agencies and other traditional power
holders around the globe have reacted to political dissent authored
by young people. While the 'need' to enhance 'youth political
participation' is promoted, the cases in this book document how
states are using everything from surveillance, summary offences,
expulsion from universities, 'gag laws' and 'antiterrorism'
legislation, and even imprisonment to repress certain forms of
young people's political activism. These responses diminish the
public sphere and create civic spaces hostile to political
participation by any citizen. This book forms part of The
Criminalization of Political Dissent series. It documents and
interprets the many ways contemporary governments and agencies now
routinely use various techniques to repress and criminalise
political dissent.
