A major new resource book for academics and students of youth studies, this work offers a rare comparative review of a field which is often focused on the local or national situation. Drawing together authors from across the world, the book combines assessments of the theory, methodology and practice of youth research, and the impact of globalization on this field of study. A particular strength of the text is its exploration of theoretical issues of globalization through substantial pieces of empirical work, some of which cover regions frequently overlooked in the international youth research scene, such as South East Asia and Eastern Europe.

Review:
'This timely book provides a very welcome global focus to youth research and makes a bold attempt to establish youth studies as a distinct discipline within the social sciences. Readers will particularly value the range of perspectives that form this collection.' Andy Furlong, University of Glasgow, UK '... a book packed full of useful material on the structure, practice and findings of youth research throughout the world... Helve and Holm have sought to give a voice and a platform to many of those who often get little chance to speak...' Youth & Policy 'This work offers a rare comparative review of a field which is often focused on the local or national situation... a particular strength of the text is its exploration of theoretical issues of globalization through substantial pieces of empirical work, some of which cover regions frequently overlooked in the international youth research scene, such as South East Asia and Eastern Europe.' Adolescence 'It is refreshing to read a book that not only challenges the predominantly negative portrayal of youth and the western focus of both theory and research, but also attempts to redress this by presenting a collection of non-western as well as western research addressing a variety of issues.' Sociology 'It is important to note that this edited and contemporary collection of international articles gives a global perspective on youth. Most articles are written from a sociological perspective or theorisation; but will still be of some interest to educational psychologists working with adolescents. I understand that the primary audience are students of Youth Studies, but will be relevant to researchers, policy makers and youth workers... There is much to critically engage the reader... it will likely be of interest to EPs engaged in research with young people , especially when inter-cultural understanding is necessary. It is a useful resource book for ideas from a sociological perspective.' DECP Debate: Division of Educational and Child Psychologists
