This book addresses the impact of globalization on the lives of
youth, focusing on the role of legal institutions and discourses.
As practices and ideas travel the globe-such as the promotion and
transmission of zero tolerance and retributive justice programs,
the near ubiquitous acceptance of the UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child, and the transnational migration of street gangs-the
legal arena is being transformed. The essays in this book offer
case studies and in-depth analyses, spanning diverse settings
including courts and prisons, inner-city streets, international
human rights initiatives, newspaper offices, local youth
organizations, and the United Nations. Drawing on everyday social
practices, each chapter adds clarity to our current understanding
of the ways in which ideas and practices in different parts of the
world can affect youth in one particular locale.

This book examines the relationship between global and local politics in Africa. As well as feeling the impact of globalization, Africa has been increasingly subject to external interventions - political, economic and military. Comprising chapters by area specialists, political scientists and anthropologists, the book analyzes the forms of power, authority and governance which have emerged as international influences have grown. It will be of interest to students of comparative politics, sociology and international relations, as well as African studies.
