| Popis: |
The effects of globalization are far beyond global economic interdependence and include issues such as the spread of democracy. In this chapter, we draw from the popular global concepts of democracy and youth participation to show how globalisation affects youth’ voice in local processes of participation and empowerment. Data for this chapter were collected from a total of 553 youths aged 15 and 30 years using a structured questionnaire and 10 focus group discussions with young people in ten districts. Results show that with increased democratisation, there are emerging norms and practices that characterise youth behaviours. Participation in formal leadership positions is low at only 26%. However, in exercising their agency, young people have adopted an issues-based approach to confront injustice. There is also a form of youth activism which has spread across the world through the power of Internet and social media as an emerging culture among the youth. |
