The Making of Migrant Entrepreneurs
Given the diversification of global migration patterns, the increased importance attributed to knowledge and innovation for economic development, and the rise of social policy regimes that emphasise self-responsibility, migrant entrepreneurship has become a widely discussed form of migrant incorporation in both policy and social sciences. Particularly in North America and Europe, policy advisors have drafted special programmes and regulations aimed at self-employed migrants, while social scientists have also come up with a vast body of research, although it has not been exempt from certain controversies and biases. Migrant entrepreneurship has frequently been associated either with rags-to-r...
Young People, Radical Democracy and Community Development
Young people are often at the forefront of democratic activism, whether self-organised or supported by youth workers and community development professionals. Focusing on youth activism for greater equality, liberty and mutual care – radical democracy – this timely collection explores the movement’s impacts on community organisations and workers. Essays from the Global North and Global South cover the Black Lives Matter movement, environmental activism and the struggles of refugees. At a time of huge global challenges, youth participation is a dynamic lens through which all community development scholars and participants can rethink their approaches.
Youth Participation and Learning
This book contributes to the studies on learning processes occurring outside “traditional” socialization settings such as family and school, by analysing civic and political participation and learning experiences. In this perspective, the book delves into the connections between the concepts of learning and participation and, in various ways and from different perspectives, critically interrogates learning and participation as interrelated phenomena, with the aim of revealing complexities implicated in pathways to adulthood. Being interdisciplinary in its nature (contributors come from disciplinary backgrounds such as educational sciences, child and youth studies, social work, sociology and political science), the volume provides an up-to date analysis of contemporary issues connected to youth participation and learning. The work taps into central areas of everyday life of young people and youth meaning-making and generates and presents qualitative knowledge about what it means to be young in Europe today.
When Students Protest
Student political action has been a major and recurring feature of politics across the globe throughout the past century. Students have been involved in a full range of public issues, from anti-colonial movements, anti-war campaigns, civil rights and pro-democracy movements to campaigns against neoliberal policies, austerity, racism, misogyny and calls for climate change action. Yet their actions are frequently dismissed by political elites and others as ‘adolescent mischief’ or manipulation of young people by duplicitous adults. This occurs even as many working in governments, traditional media and educational organisations attempt to suppress student movements. Moreover, much of mainst...

Praktiken Jugendlicher im öffentlichen Raum – Zwischen Selbstdarstellung und Teilhabeansprüchen
Wie gelingt es einer Gesellschaft, die nachkommende Generation zu überzeugen, bestehende Strukturen und Prozesse zu akzeptieren, diese selbst mitzutragen und sich darüber an der zu-künftigen Gestaltung von Gesellschaft zu beteiligen? Das Buch leistet einen Beitrag zur Klärung dieser Fragen, indem der aktuelle Partizipationsdiskurs kritisch beleuchtet und eine erste Heuristik entwickelt wird, wie Potenziale für Partizipation in unterschiedlichsten Praktiken Jugendlicher aufgedeckt werden können. Auf dieser Basis werden verschiedene Praktiken junger Menschen im öffentlichen Raum auf ihre Teilhabeansprüche hin untersucht. Die Beiträge setzen sich schließlich mit biographischen wie gesellschaftlichen Realisierungsbedingungen von Teilhabeansprüche auseinander.
