The exclusion of young people from the mainstream of the current global order is a growing concern that requires urgent attention. Extensive research has demonstrated that youth face significant challenges in navigating and thriving within the existing systemic and institutional frameworks, leading to a profound existential and generational problem. This edited collection, the second of two volumes aimed at filling a gap in understanding and addressing this grand challenge, specifically focuses on the impact and intricate consequences of migration, youth experiences, and the functioning of digital spaces, as well as the formation of youth identity through exposure to these factors.

Spanning across the globe, Youth Exclusion and Empowerment in the Contemporary Global Order engages with a diverse range of practical, pragmatic, intellectual, and policy perspectives. By delving into the lived experiences of young individuals in various countries, the chapters compile a comprehensive collection of research employing diverse methodologies. The authors shed light on how young people often feel trapped, strategically excluded, and helplessly frustrated by the purportedly supportive institutional frameworks of society. They explore the question of how young people can empower themselves and become socially active in this context.

The original materials, literature, and data collected across both volumes of Youth Exclusion and Empowerment in the Contemporary Global Order provide a cutting-edge and innovative contribution to the field of global youth studies. They address policy and practice issues related to youth, offering valuable insights and solutions for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers alike.
