Published in 1997, this text is built around themes agreed upon for
a conference which aimed to set the agenda for youth research over
the next decade. These themes are: the shaping of trajectories and
biographies - individualization, agency, structure; vulnerable
groups excluded and included youth, polarization, marginalization;
social construction of identity - identity, culture, gender,
ethnicity; political and social participation and citizenship. The
book brings together the work of British and Continental
researchers.
The English language version of proceedings of a bilateral UK/FRG
conference held at Philipps Universitaet, Marburg. The theme of
this conference was the examination of childhood and youth as
life-stages in the context of contemporary social and cultural
change, with an eye to future developments.

The contributions in this book adress the question of how to
develop and foster democratic competences. This may take place via
school curricula, resource materials and tea-ching/learning
methods; in workplaces by means of formalised arrangements that
encourage self-direction and through the informal processes
engendered by expansive working environ-ments; and in personal and
community life, including in the course of incidental learning in
social networks, including as consumers. The studies and analyses
are somewhat nonconformist in its thematic spread and its
boundary-crossing between disciplines and perspectives that
conventionally live separate lives.
Youth an Politics How do young people in Europe perceive politics?
How do they engage in the political realm? Which groups of young
people are actively involved? And which learning environments and
opportunity structures can foster parti - cipation? Furthermore
methodological problems of comparative participation research are
discussed and the measurement instrument that was developed in this
European research project, and is certainly useful for similar
studies is presented. From the Contents: Reingard Spannring, The
meaning of and relationship with politics Wolfgang Gaiser, Johann
de Rijke, Forms of political participation among young Europeans
