"Youth Urban Worlds: Aesthetic Political Action in Montreal grapples with the interaction between urban environments and cultures and the political process. Authors Boudreau and Rondeau argue persuasively that urban cultures challenge the very meaning and contours of the political process. With ethnographies delving into the perspectives and knowledges of racialized youth, urban farmers, and "voluntary risk takers," like dumpster divers, building climbers, and student protestors, Youth Urban Worlds theorizes aesthetics as an increasingly crucial form of political action in the contemporary urban setting. This interdisciplinary work, weaving together aspects of philosophy, critical geography, political sociology, urban anthropology, urban studies, and cultural studies, examines the centrality of fun, warmth, aesthetics, and embodiment to these youth's experiences of being in the world. Aesthetics serves as the predominant lens through which the lived reality of the subjects of the book is understood. It also explains how youth are able to practically and concretely impact the political process through the performance of risky and disruptive behavior. Moving from a contemporary history of urban Montreal from 1960, to an ethnographic description of the realities of urban youth in that city today, Youth Urban Worlds describes and explains the impact of aesthetics on the political."--

Ukraine & Russia began to take different transition trajectories during Vladimir Putin's first term & Leonid Kuchma's second term in office, 2000-2004. The former has taken Russia toward an authoritarian system, with a rubber stamp parliament, pliant media, imprisoned or exiled oligarchs, harassed NGOs & marginalized pro-Western, democratic parties. Since the 2000 Kuchmagate crisis & 2004 Orange Revolution, Ukraine has taken a democratic path away from what has become the CIS authoritarian norm. Ukraine held its first free & fair elections in 2006, its media are now free, & the move toward a parliamentary system will bring future dividends for democratization. Russia's Eurasian, autocratic path & Ukraine's European, democratic path are both backed by public opinion. Ukrainians support democracy as the best form of government, while Russians blame democracy for the country's ills during the 1990s & are willing to trade it for autocratic great power status. The youth in both countries reflect these preferences. Adapted from the source document.
