Reihe: Global Dissent

This text explores how to design, implement and sustain processes to meaningfully engage youth and marginalised populations in local and multilateral decision-making.

Drawing on perspectives from across regions, generations and disciplines, the book balances research, advocacy and practice to provide a critical reflection on the mainstreaming of youth participation into the levers of systems change. Prompted by the breadth and scope of youth climate protest action, these narratives ignite new pathways for building trust and improving civic participation in achieving institutional change. The authors in this collection lean into the tensions and breakthroughs emerging in and from these sites of transition and potential transformation.

The book is written by and for activists, students, scholars and practitioners from around the world. This multidisciplinary work is a refreshing and indispensable guide for undergraduate and graduate students interested in civic participation, youth development and livelihoods, climate action, global development, social movements and multilateral cooperation.
