On the other hand, too many governments, some claiming to be committed to liberal-democratic values, social inclusion and youth participation are engaged in repressing political activities that contest the \u003ci\u003estatus quo\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors to this book explore how, especially since 9\/11, governments, state agencies and other traditional power holders around the globe have reacted to political dissent authored by young people. While the 'need' to enhance 'youth political participation' is promoted, the cases in this book document how states are using everything from surveillance, summary offences, expulsion from universities, 'gag laws' and 'antiterrorism' legislation, and even imprisonment to repress certain forms of young people's political activism. These responses diminish the public sphere and create civic spaces hostile to political participation by any citizen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book forms part of \u003ci\u003eThe Criminalization of Political Dissent\u003c\/i\u003e series. It documents and interprets the many ways contemporary governments and agencies now routinely use various techniques to repress and criminalise political dissent. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Grasso, Maria T.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138630123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Maria T.
