This volume brings together young scholar-practitioners who draw on their own lived expertise and academic practice to examine how youth navigate complex socio-cultural and political conflicts, to bring about social and cultural change, creating space for positive peace despite decades of compounding crises. Contributors draw on expert knowledge and practice in a truly global range of contexts, covering Latin America and the Caribbean, Central and West Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. The specific insights of each chapter are situated in relation to the global policy architecture of the Youth, Peace and Security agenda, established by the UN Security Council, linking local and global contexts and extending limited but rapidly growing attention to youth as knowledge producers on peace and conflict
