Governing youth: Configurations of EU Youth policy

The European Union has developed a range of measures to coordinate the actions of governments and other institutionalized actors in the field of youth as well as practical programs and actions directly addressing young individuals. Applying the Foucauldian analytics of government approach, this paper shows that EU Youth Policy is a particular field of government simultaneously regulating the actions of actors dealing with youth issues while also directing the ‘proper’ behavior and conduct of young individuals primarily as jobseekers. The Open Method of Coordination and the Structured Dialogue as modes of governance are used at the EU level to disperse political power across a range of institutions. Governing is accomplished through the notions of the involvement and equivalence of partners dealing with youth issues. Complementing this, by implementing the Youth in Action Program the EU is directly encouraging young Europeans to be selfresponsible and to act as active economically valuable (prospective) workers.

The Youth Forum of the European Communities (YFEC) has been a representative platform for youth organisations working at European level, has been involved in the integration process and in the development of youth policies. Since 1980, the YFEC has also been interested in European cooperation policy, in particular with the former colonial countries of Africa and the Caribbean, but has immediately supported the need to open up European cooperation to the countries of Latin America. Young Europeans have studied and analyzed the Latin American area and have established relations with South American youth organizations, promoting the creation of a regional platform to represent young people. In support of the process of regional integration in Latin America, the YFEC relied on the development of educational activities and relationships among young people. At the end of 1993, after five years of work at regional level and At the subregional level in Latin America, a platform of youth organisations has finally been established.

European Youth Studies: Integrating research, policy and practice

This Reader is one of the deliverables that have been produced in association with the development of an M.A. in European Youth Studies (M.A. EYS) by a consortium led by the University of Innsbruck, and involving 10 universities from different parts of Europe. The M.A. EYS is a fully accredited and transnational postgraduate qualification in interdisciplinary European youth studies, and thus fills a qualification gap at national and European levels. In addition it provides an anchor for the convergence and consolidation of structured dialogue between research, policy and practice, thereby contributing to the development of policy-relevant research, evidence-based policymaking and informed reflective practice. Ultimately, this Master's degree should set a quality reference point and benchmark for advancing the supply of qualified personnel in the youth field.
