The essays in this book examine various forms of popular culture
and the ways in which they represent, shape, and are constrained by
notions about and issues within higher education. From an
exploration of rap music to an analysis of how the academy presents
and markets itself on the World Wide Web, the essays focus
attention on higher education issues that are bound up in the
workings and effects of popular culture.
A major new resource book for academics and students of youth
studies, this work offers a rare comparative review of a field
which is often focused on the local or national situation. Drawing
together authors from across the world, the book combines
assessments of the theory, methodology and practice of youth
research, and the impact of globalization on this field of study. A
particular strength of the text is its exploration of theoretical
issues of globalization through substantial pieces of empirical
work, some of which cover regions frequently overlooked in the
international youth research scene, such as South East Asia and
Eastern Europe.

This book offers insights into the relationship between
nation-state and education by problematizing and analyzing the
assumed straightforwardness of the role of education and schooling.
Placing the issue in very contemporary contested nation-state
structures like Scotland, Catalonia, Ukraine and Belgium. These
conflict situations and contested power relations are in a way some
of Europe's internal North-South struggles. In addition, the
particular Nordic North-South example of the Saami with their
status as indigenous people recognized in international law is
viewed in terms of their educational struggle for better
consideration of their cultural features in Saami land crossing the
Nordic states. The book focuses on the Nordic countries, often
viewed as globally exemplary in their educational arrangements, but
casts deeper insight into Nordic education and points to
problematic schooling issues in Northern Europe. This volume
presents somewhat unexpected views on European educational
arrangements with regard to the European growing diversity.
