THE YOUTH AND THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA: Accepted papers will focus, among other things, on the power of social media in the light of events following up to and after the “Arab Spring”, the censoring of social media in some parts of the world, and social media as a contested site of conflict and tool of violence and/or freedom.

YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: We welcome submissions that address the growing global youth unemployment and propose viable solutions, particularly papers that present fresh perspectives to youth development. Participants can focus on particular regions or countries.

YOUTH AND POLITICS: Submissions under this topic will address issues of youth participation in governance, voting and global leadership.

GANG, CRIME AND TERROR: Papers that focus on the causes and solutions to gang problems, crime and terrorism will be given special considerations.
