رامت هذه الدراسة، بناء على تجربة مجالس الشباب بالمغرب، تتبع تلكم العلاقة التي تربط بين فئة الشباب من جهة والسياسات العمومية من جهة أخرى. ولا شك أن طبيعة هذا البحث قد طرحت ثلة من الأسئلة التي تستدعي استقراء يمَّكن من الإجابة عنها، وهي من قبيل: ما أبرز التحولات الطارئة على فئة الشباب نتيجة انخراطهم في مجالس الشباب؟ وكيف لتلك الفئة أن تؤثر في السياسات العمومية المحلية؟إن الفرضية التي تنطلق منها الدراسة، بناء على تجربة مجلس الشباب لمدينة ورززات، مفادها أن الشباب الذين يعارضون استراتيجية سياسة عمومية محلية ينتهي بهم الأمر بقبول هذه الاستراتيجية بعد إدماجهم في تدبير هذه الأخيرة.ومن أجل تبيان ذلك، أجريت مجموعة من المقابلات النصف موجهة، ما بين شهري ماي/أيار 2017 وماي/أيار 2019، بحيث عقد لقاء مع ممثلي التنسيقية الوطنية لمجالس الشباب بالمغرب، فضلا عن ممثلي مجلس الشباب بمدينة ورززات، بالإضافة إلى مستشارين جماعيين بنفس المدينة. لقد أظهرت المعطيات الميدانية للدراسة، ما للشباب من قدرات على الانخراط في الأنشطة المرتبطة بالسياسات العمومية المحلية، غير أن ذلك الانخراط يعطي نتائج عكسية للدوافع التي من أجلها أسس هؤلاء الشباب مجلسهم. إذ بينت نتائج الدراسة، أن مجالس الشباب تساهم في خلق نوع من التقارب بين الشباب وممثلي السلطات العمومية على المستوى المحلي، مما يسهل دمج هذه الفئة في السياسات العمومية المحلية. بالمقابل، يساهم هذا الإدماج في تغيير وتوجيه مطالب فئة الشباب بعد إشراكهم في السياسات واللجان المحلية، كما يساهم ذلك في دفعهم إلى تبني خطاب مماثل لخطاب ممثلي السلطات العمومية المحلية. This article deals with youth councils, one of the mechanisms for participatory democracy established in Morocco. Their objective is to facilitate the full and active participation of young people in public policy design and implementation. This article specifically addresses the use made by different types of local actors of this facility. How do youth councils impact youth who are participating in these structures? How do youth manage to influence local policies? Those are the two main questions that we will try to answer in this paper. The link between youth and public policy is linked to the use made by young people of the public participation mechanism. In this sense, it is critical to try to understand how actors who openly challenge one or more aspect of the public intervention end up becoming actors themselves within that public policy. We will try to demonstrate, from the experience of a youth council established in the city of Ouarzazate, that young people challenging public interventions end up accepting the precise interventions they vehemently opposed once they start joining the formal participatory structures. This research is based on the collection of qualitative data from semidirect interviews with members of the national coalition of youth councils, with young people organized around the local youth council and with local elected officials in Ouarzazate. Field surveys show that young people organized around a socalledparticipatory mechanism can ensure their entry into local public action, but as a result, adopt a position at the opposite of what it originally was. This participatory mechanism manages to brings young people closer to government representatives and, as a result, impacts on their demands. The youth council’s process thus helps to mediate the approval of the official state discourse by young people who previously challengedlocal public action. Cet article porte sur un dispositif participatif mis en place au Maroc : les conseils des jeunes. Ceuxci ont pour objectif d’associer la jeunesse marocaine à l’élaboration des politiques publiques locales. Il vise à interroger les usages différenciés de ce dispositif par les acteurs de l’action publique locale. Comment les conseils des jeunes transforment les jeunes qui y participent, mais également comment ces derniers parviennentils à influencer l’action publique locale ? Telle est la question à laquelle nous voudrions présenter des éléments de réponse dans le cadre de cette recherche. La question du lien entre jeunes et politiques publiques est liée à l’usage des dispositifs publics par cette catégorie sociale. Dans ce sens il est important ici de chercher à comprendre comment des acteurs qui contestent ouvertement un ou plusieurs aspects de l’intervention publique finissent par devenir acteurs de cette même politique publique. L’hypothèse à démontrer dans ce cadre, à partir de l’expérience du conseil des jeunes de la ville de Ouarzazate, est que les jeunes qui contestent une stratégie d’une politique publique locale finissent par accepter cettestratégie suite à leur entrée dans l’action publique locale. Cette recherche s’appuie sur le recueil des données qualitatives issues d’entretiens semidirectifs réalisés entre mai 2017 et mai 2019 auprès des membres de la coordination nationale des conseils des jeunes, des jeunes mobilisésautour du conseil des jeunes et des élus locaux dans une ville ayant une situation socioéconomique différente des grandes métropoles marocaines: Ouarzazate. Les enquêtes de terrain montrent que les jeunes organisés autour d’un dispositif qualifié de participatif sont capables d’assurer leur entrée dans l’action publique locale, mais cela engendre des effets inverses à leur position de départ. Ce dispositif participatif ne permet que de rapprocher les jeunes des représentants des pouvoirs publics et de modifier, en conséquence, leurs revendications. Le dispositif du conseil des jeunes contribue ainsi à approuver le discours officiel par des jeunes qui contestaient auparavant une action publique locale.

Malaysian marginalized youth participation in nation building through various media platforms is low. Therefore, an action plan was developed to enhance the social, political and economic participation of youth in marginalized communities through media utilization. The action plan consists of target items and approaches to conduct activities. Eight media-participation-related modules were also tested in an intervention study. The modules were targeted at increasing the level of youth media, social and political participation. Various agencies such as the Malaysian Youth Council, were involved to help realize the plan aims. Results from the stakeholders’ reviews indicated that more efforts have to be carried out to expose these youth to good practices in the use of social media for participation purposes. The findings also concluded that this action plan is well-formed, can serve as a guide, allows integration of cultural harmony and offers empowerment to the youth.

Election violence varies significantly within countries, yet how and why are undertheorized. Although existing scholarship has shown how national-level economic, institutional, and contextual factors increase a country's risk for violence during elections, these studies cannot explain why elites organize election violence in some localities but not others. An analysis of gubernatorial elections in Nigeria reveals the conditions under which elites recruit popular social-movement actors for pre-election violence. Gubernatorial elections are intensely competitive when agreements between governors and local ruling party elites over the distribution of state patronage break down. To oust their rivals and consolidate power, elites recruit popular reformist groups for pre-election violence and voter mobilization. Conversely, when local ruling-party elites are aligned over how state patronage is to be distributed, the election outcome is agreed to well in advance. In this scenario, there is little incentive to enlist social movement actors for violence. Case studies of the Ijaw Youth Council and Boko Haram provide empirical support for the argument. The theory and evidence help explain subnational variation in election violence as well as the relationship between intraparty politics and violence during elections, and speak to broader questions about political order and violence.

Chapter four traces the intersection between Mississippi’s long freedom struggle and the federally funded war on poverty in the state capitol, Jackson. First, it describes the development of the capitol’s civil rights activism through the 1950s and into the 1960s, with sit-in campaigns drawing on the vibrancy of Tougaloo College, the Jackson NAACP Youth Council, and the leadership of Medgar Evers. The chapter then explores the way in which the class divisions which undermined activism in Jackson fed into the creation of the city’s anti-poverty program, Community Services Association. It traces the way in which one black activist and poverty warrior, Don Jackson, used his position in the Neighborhood Youth Corps to foster the city’s youthful activism. These efforts were, however, quickly undermined by the city’s powerful mechanisms of white supremacy, notably the state sovereignty commission.

This article approaches children’s participation in the context of regional youth councils in Finland.Based on the survey data and thematic interviews of children aged 9 to 16, the aim is to deepenthe understanding on what children consider they are gaining from their membership in the councils.For children, participation refers to their ability to express their own opinions and take part inthe decision-making, while being able to interact with their peers is regarded as equally important.Regional youth councils are considered spaces for learning about the democratic culture, and theactual skills and knowledge essential to act in it. Children note this as also being important for theirfuture lives. Based on children’s experiences, this article argues that to make participation arenasmore meaningful and effective for all participants, pedagogical perspectives should be strengthened.In the final part of the article, some premises for the pedagogy of participation will be outlined.Keywords: children, participation, regional youth council, pedagogy of participation
