"this book brings together a number of important debates about youth participation in sociology, social policy and political science." LSE Review of Books "I strongly encourage reading this book as it provides a much needed starting point for a better and more inclusive dialogue on youth participation." Youth Voice Journal "This edited collection, drawing on the contributors' involvement in European-level research and other inquiry, interrogates the complexity of the idea of youth participation. It represents an important corrective to the bland, arguably naive, positions that too often prevail." Howard Williamson, University of Glamorgan
