Book description
Engaging youth in civic life has become a central concern to a broad
array of researchers in a variety of academic fields as well to policy
makers and practitioners globally. This book is both international and
multidisciplinary, consisting of three sections that respectively cover
conceptual issues, developmental and educational topics, and
methodological and measurement issues. Broad in its coverage of topics,
this book supports scholars, philanthropists, business leaders,
government officials, teachers, parents, and community practitioners in
their drive to engage more young people in community and civic actions.
