Securitizing Youth offers new insights on young people's engagement in a wide range of contexts related to the peace and security field. It presents empirical findings on the challenges and opportunities faced by young women and men in their efforts to build more peaceful, inclusive, and environmentally secure societies. The chapters included in this edited volume examine the diversity and complexity of young people's engagement for peace and security in different countries across the globe and in different types and phases of conflict and violence, including both conflict-affected and relatively peaceful societies. Chapter contributors, young peacebuilders, and seasoned scholars and practitioners alike propose ways to support youth's agency and facilitate their meaningful participation in decision-making. The chapters are organized around five broad thematic issues that correspond to the 5 Pillars of Action identified by UN Security Council Resolution 2250. Lessons learned are intended to inform the global youth, peace, and security agenda so that it better responds to on-the-ground realities, hence promoting more sustainable and inclusive approaches to long-lasting peace.
Industry Reviews
"Anyone interested in understanding youth as a demographic dividend will find this book fascinating. Securitizing Youth provides an excellent overview of key issues raised by the UN's policy focus on youth that is detailed, informative and accessible. The chapters provide keen insights into important topics ranging from youth engagement in mediating local conflicts to addressing climate change and their role in transitional justice. Marisa Ensor has made a significant contribution to this field of study." -- Melanne Verveer * Director, Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace & Security, and former US Ambassador for Global Women's Issues *
"Today's super-youthful world features a dispiriting irony: young people at the center of much policy discussion usually are unable to make their own case. Fortunately, the contributors in this important book collectively contrast current policy confusions with dynamic youth on the ground. The result is a timely, foundational book. Strongly recommended." -- Marc Sommers * author of The Outcast Majority: War, Development, and Youth in Africa *
