This book explores how, under what conditions and for what purpose, young people across different European contexts participate in decision making and foster changes on issues that concern them and their communities.
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.
It provides new multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary insights into how the changing conditions of being young in Europe impact on civic participation processes and gives new insights into discourses on young people’s as active citizens across Europe.
