John Bynner & Lynne Chisholm 
Youth, Citizenship and Social Change in a European Context [PDF ebook] 

Published in 1997, this text is built around themes agreed upon for a conference which aimed to set the agenda for youth research over the next decade. These themes are: the shaping of trajectories and biographies – individualization, agency, structure; vulnerable groups excluded and included youth, polarization, marginalization; social construction of identity – identity, culture, gender, ethnicity; political and social participation and citizenship. The book brings together the work of British and Continental researchers.
