Young people's participation is an urgent policy and practice
concern across countries and context. This book showcases original
research evidence and analysis to consider how, under what
conditions and for what purposes young people participate in
different parts of Europe. Focusing on the interplay between the
concepts of youth, inequality and participation, this book explores
how structural changes, including economic austerity, neoliberal
policies and new patterns of migration, affect the conditions of
young people's participation and its aims. With contributions from
a range of subject experts, including young people themselves, the
book challenges current policies and practices on young people's
participation. It asks how young people can be better supported to
take part in social change and decision-making and what can be
learnt from young people's own initiatives.
This book analyses the relationship between youth and
participation, looking specifically at those repertories of
involvement that are commonly clustered under the concept of
"unconventional political participation". The author focuses on the
connections between youth practices of participation and youth
conditions in contemporary society. Drawing from the analysis of
three ethnographic case studies conducted on experiences of youth
participation in Italy and Sweden, the circumstances and the
reasons leading young people to express their political ideas
through forms of engagement located outside the realm of "formal
politics" are explored. The book seeks to bring back the
specificities of contemporary youth at the centre of the analysis
of youth practices of participation, highlighting their often
overlooked socio-historical and generational 'situatedness'. Youth
and Unconventional Political Engagement will be of interest
students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including
youth studies, political science, and sociology.
