The wider cultural universe of contemporary Eveny is a specific and revealing subset of post-Soviet society. From an anthropological perspective, the author seeks to reveal not only the Eveny cultural universe but also the universe of the children and adolescents within this universe. The first full-length ethnographic study among the adolescence of Siberian indigenous peoples, it presents the young people’s narratives about their own future and shows how they form constructs of time, space, agency and personhood through the process of growing up and experiencing their social world. The study brings a new perspective to the anthropology of childhood and uncovers a quite unexpected dynamic in narrating and foreshadowing the future while relating it to cultural patterns of prediction and fulfillment in nomadic cosmology.

Drawing on empirical data from two recent research studies in post-Apartheid South Africa, this paper asks what it means to be poor, young and black, and belong in a society that has suffered debilitating and dehumanising racial subjugation, actively excluding people from citizenship, and how poverty serves to perpetuate this exclusion. It examines the notions of citizenship and belonging and asks what are the meanings and markers of both in a country like South Africa. It focuses on alternative modes of belonging adopted by young people – in this case dreaming and adopting what they term ikasi style. The paper then shows how structural and symbolic violence are complicit in silencing the dreams and aspirations of poor youth, before expanding Ramphele and Brown's notion of ‘woundedness’ to consider its implications for citizenship and belonging. It concludes with modest recommendations regarding how this state of affairs might be redressed within educational and policy contexts.

The intention of this paper is to interpret the ontological conditions of youth identity crisis missionally. This is first done by conceptualising identity crisis as a psychological phenomenon using frameworks of authenticity and attachment to explain the impact of early attachment abuse, abandonment depression, insecure attachment anxiety with God, and self-regulation on the identity formation of the youth. Secondly, the paper introduces a missional hermeneutic that provides an interpretative framework for coping with the crises of identity amongst young people. A missional hermeneutic of care for coping with the crisis of identity formation, therefore, elaborates on the missional basis of biblical interpretation as a powerful framework within which to interpret a skewed, conflicted identity. The author herewith proposes a missional opportunity that can activate the missional consciousness of young people in their time of crisis and identity formation. Furthermore, the author insists that this missional methodology can be a very useful strategy for producing therapeutic change in young people and can help youth ministry workers and pastoral caregivers to reframe the crisis of youth identity from the perspective of 'missio Dei'.

The policy phrase Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is rapidly gaining ground across Southeast Asia (and beyond). Despite numerous policy reports, little is known about how vocational training and education work as sites of practice. This is especially true for informal household-based apprenticeships and privately organized, commercial classroom-based training. Yet, these latter arrangements are numerous, an integral part of the widespread informal economy, and reflecting the fact that homes have retained their productive character in much of the Global South. Combining a village-based perspective (Laos) with an urban-based perspective (Cambodia), we analyse how these informal and privately organized training spaces are situated in rural youth’s gendered lives and shaped by, but also generative of, aspirations of ‘becoming someone’. In addition, comparing informal apprenticeships with classroom-based training leads us to raise some important questions about the implications of the (global) policy emphasis on the standardization and formalization of TVET.

The paper examines the nexus among the concepts of democracy, globalisation and technology, arguably the three most interdependent notions affecting the way and speed in which global dynamics and diplomatic practises were transformed. It analyses the evolution of non-state actors' engagement in multilateral processes between the Stockholm Conference in 1972 and the Rio+20 Conference in 2012. The experience of the Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY) at the Rio+20 Conference is introduced as a case study to illustrate the practical application of the nexus and its impact on stakeholder engagement. The analysis recognises that the nexus offers a real opportunity to improve diplomacy means and practices and encourage further exploration into the nexus’ full potential.

Social fragmentation of urban life is a common and growing process in most Latin American big cities. In spite of the strong link between urban studies and youth studies, the relationship between contemporary processes of socio‐spatial fragmentation and the youth experience of the city remains still today under‐explored. This chapter examines the complex relationship between space, class and gender inequalities, and how they interrelate to shape young people’s urban experience and sociability. The expansion of residential segregation, gated communities, new public spaces, insecurity and fears, among
other contemporary urban features, have a strong impact in young people's urban life, which is mediated by the class and gender conditions. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, interviews and focus groups with privileged and disadvantaged youth in Mexico City, the analysis focuses in two main issues: on the one hand, the processes of "unequal inclusion" and "reciprocal exclusion" in the city, and, on the other hand, the patterns of urban social interaction based on mutual stigmatization and lack of social recognition.

This course will examine the relationship between youth and conflict. We will explore various definitions of youth as a biological, cultural, and political category. We will discuss youth and children as victims of conflict, as perpetrators of violence, and as builders of peace. Other topics include youth and nationalism, the effect of conflict on educational systems, the special situation of girls affected by conflict, the efforts of international child protection agencies and NGOs to work with children and youth affected by war, children’s testimonies of violence, and the involvement of youth in peacebuilding.

The termination of parental rights of parents with mental disabilities is a growing and crucial issue. In 2010, an estimated 45.9 million adults in the U.S. had experienced a mental illness in the past year. This represents 20% of the adult population. More than five million children in the U.S. have a parent with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. Courts and child welfare systems too often assume that a parent is not amenable to treatment and is a danger to his or her child when strong symptoms of mental turmoil surface. Some studies report that as many as 70 to 80% of mentally ill parents have lost custody. Public systems are overwhelmed by this matter in an era of shrinking resources for such systems. However, often parents with mental health needs are willing to accept treatment, are able to participate in programming, and are worthy of regaining custody.
• There are gaps in federal and state law on this issue. The federal Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) requires that state child welfare agencies and courts make “reasonable efforts” towards family reunification before the termination of parental rights (TPR) can take place. However, federal statutes and case law provide little guidance to states about what “reasonable efforts” means, and states have been left to interpret that concept individually. Many state statutes even enable a “bypass” of the “reasonable efforts” standard when “clear and convincing” evidence allegedly shows that a parent's mental condition cannot be changed. Many states likewise place unjust, statutory and common law time limits on family reunification efforts in TPR cases.
• Gaps in legal scholarship are also evident here. Legal scholars have begun to discuss the inadequacy of reunification services for mentally challenged parents, the tenuous link between mental health services and child welfare agency action, the need for enhanced attorney and child welfare worker preparation in this arena, and a need for cultural competence in reunification services. Others have even suggested that there be a rebuttable presumption in favor of family reunification. However, those discussions lack a sound theoretical basis and a practical application of solutions.
• As is featured in previous work of this author, a new theoretical framework of Family Systems Theory-- which is utilized in clinical behavioral health and human rights arenas-- must first be applied. Under this theoretical framework, the vague and outdated “best interests of the child” standard, which is a legal standard used exclusively in family law cases, must be replaced with a more sound standard of “holistic family wellbeing.” Vulnerability Theory can add credence to this theoretical framework.
• The discussion of reunification services for families featuring parents with mental disabilities should then be conducted utilizing Family Systems Theory and a legal standard of “holistic family wellbeing.” Under these circumstances, the “family integrity” defended by our highest courts through the “reasonable efforts” provision should be upheld through the delivery of highly effective family reunification services. The application of Family Systems Theory ultimately requires reform in the law, service delivery, and professional practice. State and federal legislators must revisit the “reasonable efforts” standard, to include specific statutory language about the types of reunification services required and the need for flexible timelines. Courts, child welfare agencies, and service providers need to deliver proven reunification services and coordinated mental health treatment. In specific court cases, attorneys for the parent(s), the child(ren), and the state should focus on “holistic family wellbeing” utilizing collaborative family law and alternative dispute resolution, while advancing the agency of their clients. Child welfare workers and practitioners likewise require training in advanced methods of conflict resolution and clinical practice. These recommendations can ensure more effective family law practice and more successful family - serving systems.

Since the 18th century to the present, the concept of worldview has been used in various forms by various writers and extensively in several fields of academic disciplines. The article provides a brief historical overview of its usage in the literature and demonstrates how worldview has been perceived differently over time. It presents the evolution of the concept, its essential characteristics, worldviews frameworks, Muslim worldviews, and the identity formation of young Muslims. Thus, it provides a detailed, overview of how the concept has been understood in the core disciplines, particularly in Islam and Western culture and most relevant for Muslim identity.
The Worldview Theory has been popular in the West, but has not yet found a proper place in the Turkish context. This study aims to remedy the lack of the concept of worldview in the current literature. Nevertheless, exploring the Muslim identity is important. The meaning of identity is defined with Tariq Ramadan’s four foundational pillars. These four aspects provide sufficient idea of the basics of Muslim identity, individual and social, in a particular area of the world. Regarding this, religion and religious education have attempted to respond to the challenges faced by many young people seeking to find a worldview that holds the promise of a meaningful life. Thus, the religious worldview dimension of life is significant and is given special attention in this article. This paper is concerned to be one of the few attempts to discuss a need for professional care in dealing with the development of worldview and identity relations.

The study explores the individual differences in the experience of faith formation using the framework of attachment theory, as it looks at what inspires attachment behaviours toward God. The experience of faith formation is herewith conceptualised in this study as a care-giving experience, watered by reciprocity of proximity with a divine attachment figure. The findings suggest four individual pathways in which the faith of young people was formed. These pathways were seen as remedies for previous insecure attachment experience with unavailable human attachment figures, and as a means of enhancing an already positive attachment with human relational partners. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen Christian youths of various racial backgrounds who were active members of different church denominations in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa. The data collected from the respondents position youth faith formation as an attachment phenomenon.

Au cours des dernières décennies, la proportion des individus se déclarant « sans religion » dans le cadre de sondages et d’enquêtes de population a connu une hausse marquée dans la plupart des sociétés occidentales. Le Québec n’échappe pas à cette tendance, alors que ce phénomène de désidentification religieuse semble gagner en importance auprès des jeunes générations. En contexte franco-québécois, les études de nature qualitative et menées auprès de ce groupe démographique hétérogène se font rares. Alors que de plus en plus de jeunes s’identifient comme sans religion, force est d’admettre que nous en savons bien peu sur l’état de leurs croyances. Qui sont-ils et qu’est-ce qui les pousse à s’identifier ainsi ? Comment l’étiquette qu’ils réclament traduit-elle leur non-appartenance ? Comment le récit biographique de ces jeunes, issus de différents horizons, nous informe-t-il sur l’évolution de leur rapport à la religion ? Ce ne sont là que quelques-unes questions à l’origine de notre réflexion sur les manières implicites ou explicites dont est vécue l’absence de religion dans la vie de jeunes Québécois. Le spectre des sans religion est large et les identités sont poreuses, mais le principe de nonaffiliation constitue un facteur d’affirmation fort, dans une société où les débats entourant la place de la religion ne cessent de polariser. Ce mémoire veut décrire la configuration et la dynamique de l’imaginaire de jeunes Québécois sans religion en cernant leurs croyances, valeurs, normes, visions de la vie et de la mort et en saisissant comment ces différentes composantes interagissent entre elles. À partir de cette exploration, nous tenterons de dégager certains axes de la recomposition religieuse en cours

Highlighting the events of Egyptian Revolution 2011, various massmedia tried to explain what had caused the riots. Most explanations followed the same pattern, blaming economic stagnation, poverty, inequality, corruption and unemployment. A typical explanation is that " Egyptians have the same complaints that drove Tunisians onto the streets: surging food prices, poverty, unemployment and authoritarian rule that smothers public protests quickly and often brutally ". Such unanimity incited us to investigate to what extent those accusations reflected the Egyptian reality. So we decided to take each of the above mentioned " revolution causes " and to look into the actual dynamics of the relevant socioeconomic indicators in the years preceding the Egyptian revolution. Resumen En los titulares de los eventos de la Revolución egipcia de 2011, varios medios de masas intentaron explicar qué había causado los disturbios. La mayoría de las explicaciones seguían el mismo patrón, protestas por el estancamiento económico, pobreza, desigualdad, corrupción y desempleo. Una explicación típica es que " Los egipcios tienen las mismas quejas que llevaron a los tunecinos a las calles: precios galopantes de los alimentos, pobreza, desempleo y reglas autoritarias que silenciaron las protestas públicas rápida y a menudo brutalmente ". Esa unanimidad nos incitó a investigar hasta qué punto esas actuaciones reflejaban la realidad Egipcia. Así que decidimos tomar cada una de las mencionadas " causas de la revolución " y mirar en la actual dinámica de los indicadores relevantes de la socioeconomía, en los días previos a la revolución egipcia. Palabras clave: Egipto, revolución, demografía.

Este libro es resultado del trabajo en equipo y en red de cientos de investigadoras/
es e interesados en el estudio de la condición juvenil en Argentina.
Su contenido articula un estado del arte de estudios en juventudes en el
país y ofrece una muestra de trabajos recientes en la temática. Muchas veces
desperdigados por la lejanía geográfica o la pertenencia institucional y
disciplinar de sus autores, las producciones aquí reunidas atraviesan muchas
de estas fronteras. Cada uno de los artículos abre el diálogo entre quienes
hoy están produciendo conocimiento en el país, y nos embarca en la
complejidad de informar y explicar nuestra sociedad desde el intercambio
y la reflexión con otros.
Siendo producto de la 1º ReNIJ el presente libro es un reflejo de su
organización, tanto en lo que respecta a los ejes temáticos de trabajo como
a su concepción en tanto producción colectiva. Se compone de las relatorías
escritas por los coordinadores y un artículo por ellos seleccionado entre las
ponencias presentadas para cada grupo de trabajo (debían excluirse en el
caso que ellos también fueran ponentes).
En relación a los artículos se leerá que algunos de los trabajos publicados
analizan y escriben sobre acontecimientos muy recientes, y otros un
poco más lejanos en el tiempo. Esta es una historia en el camino en parte «en caliente», en tanto textos de avances de investigación, pero de ningún modo desanudados de las tradiciones y los contextos. Todos los artículos historizan, buscan las raíces del presente en el pasado y complejizan sosteniendo la tensión de las condiciones objetivas de vida, la constitución de subjetividad y la construcción
de identidades.
Los lectores de diferentes grupos etáreos podrán hallarse en los textos,
sentirse analizados en su participación en lo social de los últimos dos años
como en los trabajos sobre cómo crecen los chicos de José León Suárez de
Ada Freytes Frei (eje Condiciones de Vida), o el de Malvina Silba sobre la
experiencia de las bailantas leída desde el género (eje Género y sexualidades).
O situaciones de hace más de una década en aquellas luchas por la
defensa de la educación pública en el Comahue como muestra el trabajo de
Federico Aringoli y Alfredo Jaramillo (Eje Acción, participación, opciones
y estrategias política). Más atrás en el tiempo debemos datar las primeras
irrupciones contraculturales de lo juvenil en el país reflejado en la revista
de época que analiza Ricardo Terriles (Eje Historia de las juventudes).
La distribución geográfica de los trabajos de investigación visibiliza
producciones de centros de investigación de distintas provincias, como San
Luis a través del trabajo de Leticia Marín y María Julieta Gómez (Eje Trabajo),
pero sigue existiendo una preeminencia de trabajos de la Región
Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (incluyendo en esto a la ciudad de La Plata),
como el de Valeria Chorny en su análisis de la práctica del tango (Eje
Prácticas culturales, estilos, consumos y estéticas).
Existe también una diversidad de perspectivas teóricas y metodológicas
utilizadas para analizar lo juvenil, así como se han seleccionado distintos
espacios sociales para ver su emergencia en tanto construcción relacional.
Por ejemplo se podrá leer un análisis sobre el vínculo con la televisión en
tanto propuesta de educación y entretenimiento en el trabajo de Hugo Lewin
(Eje Comunicación y tecnologías), o el cruce de la mirada de las instituciones
educativas sobre las y los jóvenes estudiado por Gustavo Efrón (Eje
Educación), el estudio de un centro de atención para chicos en situación de
calle investigado por María Florencia Gentile (Eje Políticas Públicas), y la
inserción y trayectoria en movimientos sociales descriptos por Claudia
Bracchi, Marcelo Vazelle, María Inés Gabbai y Agustina Quiroga (Eje Trayectorias
sociales), que también se trata en el análisis comparativo desarrollado
por Leticia Fernández Berdaguer (Eje Abordajes teóricometodológicos).
El eje Salud fue previsto en la organización y se transformó en un panel
durante la Reunión coordinado por Ariel Adaszko y Pablo Francisco Di
Leo.
En la realización de la 1° RENIJ y en el libro que esta Introducción
presenta, pueden verse algunos de los frutos que ha dado la apuesta por el
trabajo en red, sostenido en la creencia que las producciones de conocimiento
se realizan más plenamente cuando se distribuyen, se conocen y
pueden ser apropiadas y discutidas por múltiples actores. Cuando la intención
es avanzar, contar la historia de la construcción del campo de estudios
y construir un estado del arte de las investigaciones en juventudes en Argentina es un piso establecido para sembrar nuevas preguntas. Esta ha sido
la intencionalidad de la obra que invitamos a compartir.

Abstract: This response to Being Catholic in the Contemporary Philippines proceeds in three parts. Part 1 summarizes the contents of Cornelio’s book, which complicates popular assumptions and academic literature on contemporary Catholicism and, more specifically, religiosity among a segment of Filipino youths. Part 2 explores the book’s strengths, particularly how it provides a deeper understanding of contemporary Catholicism, religious identity, and the status of religious institutions among youth believers in the urban Philippines. Part 3 is a discussion of some of the book’s weaknesses, such as methodological limitations, problems with homogenization and generalization, and the need for a more critical appraisal of notions such as “the youth,” “religion,” “creative Catholics,” “isolated generation,” and “emotions.” I also discuss in the third part how insights from the anthropology of Islam and of Muslim youths, and my ethnography in the Cotabato region, can converse with Cornelio’s work and complicate “youth,” “religion,” creativity in/and religiosity, and youths’ political subjectivities.

India is a country of youths. These youth are so involved with their virtual life that the boundary between real and reel has become quite thin. They share all their emotions of love and hate, aggression and violence over these social media platforms. These youngsters regularly find themselves in a violent virtual space that has negatively influenced their daily real life. This paper tries to understand young people’s attitudes and behaviour over social media platforms and attempts to explain the social media as an uncontrolled and violent platform for the youths. Structured questionnaire survey method has been used to understand the behaviour of the youths. It has been found that cyberbullying has become a very negative part of the social media life of these youngsters. The real life street violence has transformed into cyber-crime and cyber bullying. Youngsters, who have been victimise earlier, are also actively participating in the social media violence. Proper education and awareness need to be encouraged in the schools and colleges.

The call for sectors to work collaboratively to provide integrated services is not new or unique to New Labour; but a combination of previous political approaches assumed to be more inclusive. The rhetoric of partnership is seen as essential to locate solutions to complex problems, with policies focusing on the socially disadvantaged. It could be argued that this thrust of partnership activity in different arenas and contexts highlights the terms’ ambiguity and despite the increased political interest, partnership remains ‘fuzzy’. It is described as the ‘indefinable in pursuit of the unachievable’ and despite the optimism of official documents there is an array of issues including the definition of partnership itself.

تستعرض المقال ملامح الاهتمام الرئاسي في مصر بفئة الشباب، وأبرز المبادرات التي تبنتها أجهزة الدولة، وأفرزها المناخ العام المصاحب لها، مع محاولة تقييم مدى فعاليتها، وتقديم مقترحات بشأن الآليات، والخطوات اللازمة في الفترة القادمة لتفعيل تلك الجهود، والحد من أوجه القصور. وهى تصل إلى نتيجة أن الفترة التالية لثورة 30 يونيو 2013 قد شهدت عدة مؤشرات دالة على ازدياد دمج الشباب في الحياة العامة، وعلى اهتمام نظام الرئيس عبد الفتاح السيسي بالشباب ليس بوصفهم فقط أداة لتعزيز شرعية نظام الحكم، وحمايته من أية اضطرابات أو هزات سياسية كما كانت تنظر النظم السابقة بل لكونهم أحد أهم الموارد التي يمكن أن تحقق التنمية المنشودة. إلا أن تلك المؤشرات الجادة لم تخل من تداعيات غير مقصودة تتطلب المزيد من تنسيق الجهود لدعم التوجه العام نحو دمج الشباب في الحركة الكلية للمجتمع.

In France, the justice system for minors, since the government edict of 2nd February 1945, has been distinguished officially from others by the importance attached to applying an " educative " rather than " repressive " approach. This explicit stance on the part of the political and judicial authorities is reflected in the development of institutions whose policy is one of " educational " supervision. But what does this educational work consist of? In a context marked by the increasing bureaucratization of socio-judicial work, how do officials assess the impact and effectiveness of the policy? Using the results of an ethnography conducted in an open custody unit of the Youth Judicial Protection Service (Protection Judi-ciaire de la Jeunesse) and a children's court in the Paris region, this study shows that professionals attach particular importance to bringing about a change in attitude towards self and others. The understanding is that " successful support " of delinquent minors will encourage them to express a sense of responsibility and guilt for their behaviour, two feelings invested with redemptive, healing abilities. Expression of such sentiments, which are at the heart of the moral economy of juvenile delinquency, is understood to attest to a subjective transformation , which becomes the ultimate justification for the work done with these delinquents as well as a condition for their pardon. The importance attached to eliciting expressions of a sense of responsibility and guilt thus contributes to disciplining sentiments, where the aim is no longer to correct behaviour but persons.

Öz: Sosyal medya gündelik hayatın her karesinde bir biçimde varlık gösteren, birey ve toplum ilişkilerini her yönüyle değişim ve dönüşüme uğratan bir olgudur. Yapısal formu gereği daha çok bireysel kullanıma olanak tanıyan sosyal medyanın diğer bir yönüyle bireyleri birbirine bağlayan bir ağ örgüsü üzerinden gelişmesi, onu bütünüyle toplumsal kılmaktadır. Bu bakımdan toplumsal yapıyı var eden en önemli dinamiklerden biri olarak gençliğin, sosyal medya ile olan ilişkisinin anlaşılması çabası son derece önem kazanmaktadır. Söz konusu bu çabaya toplumsal yapının farklı birçok unsurunun toplamı olarak tanımlanabilecek 'toplumsal derinlik' kavramı etrafında bir okuma çabası geliştirilmelidir. Toplumsal derinlikten anlaşılması gereken geçmişin insanlık biriki-mini yok saymayan ama anakronizme de düşmeyen, bugünü anlayan, kavrayan ve irade gösterebilen bir aklın inşa faaliyetidir. Ve bu aklın toplumsal yapının bütün unsurlarına ve bütün hücrelerine işlenebilmesidir. Başka bir ifadeyle sağlıklı bir bedenin uyum ve ahengi için gerekli olan akıl ve iradedir. Bu yönüyle gençliğin sosyal medya kullanımını toplumsal derinlik kavramı etrafında kuramsal olarak ele alan çalışmamız, toplumsal derinliği var eden temel akıl etrafında, gençliğin sosyal medya ile olan ilişkisini anlama ve kavramaya odaklanmaktadır.
Abstract: Social media showing itself in every aspect of daily life and changing and transforming individuals and society relations at all points. Due to the structural form, social media mainly allows individual use; but on the other hand, its development through a network connecting individuals makes it entirely social. In this respect, understanding the relationship between social media and youth, as one of dozens of elements that comprise the social structure and as one of the most important dynamics, is becoming extremely important. Meanwhile, an effort should be developed around the concept of 'social depth' which can be defined as the sum of many different elements of the social structure. What should be understood from social depth is construction of a mind that does not ignore the humanity accumulation of history but not fall into anachronism, seize and apprehend today and show will. And ability to penetrate this mind into all the elements and cells of social structure. In other words, what is necessary for harmony of a healthy body is mind and will. In this aspect, our study, which discusses theoretically social media usage of youth around the concept of social depth, focuses on understanding and apprehending the relationship of youth with social media around fundamental mind creating social depth.

Building upon the understanding that concept of youth is socially constructed and negotiated, and with the recognition of youth’s inherent bipolarity and sociological paradigms; this article aims at identifying the types of political agenda that drive young population particularly in Southeast Asia. It describes factors that shape the social construction of youth in this region, and explores channels of influence under various youth development programs of the global North that construct the nature of youth agenda in many countries. It attempts to identify the degree of influence by particular political actors promoting development cooperation and initiatives in regulating and empowering young population. Looking especially at those exporting the Western ideologies; in the name of youth, proclaiming universal values and modernity in the form of the liberal global order and globalization. It argues further that the positive stereotypes of youth have entered the political and policy discourse of Southeast Asia under a variety of youth agenda embedded in the development programs. One of the important political projects and visions is the movement to develop and expand national youth policies. It concludes that the on-going efforts for the creation of national youth laws and related institutional infrastructure are premised on governments’ agenda to dictate youth by controlling their life course trajectories and experiences. Two ultimate purposes of expanding the significance of youth in this era and regulating the degree of their involvement in policymaking process are to maintain regimes’ stability and to serve dominant interests pursuing the neoliberal version of society.
