This paper examines about the dynamics of youth in a political party in Malang, East Java. The proliferation of young people and political parties give us an important picture, especially in the middle of the political situation in Indonesia which is getting negative. Instead of become apathetic, the youth are joined actively in the context of practical politics. A political party that should be an inclusive place for anyone in it (including those of young people) precisely do exclucivity by the others. Some youth who come from minority group especially based on race, class, and gender have experience about discrimination by some people in that party. Using qualitative method with biography approach, there are 3 key informants who will told about their narration related to exclucivity by some people in the political party. Although these youth cadres have experience about racism, class, or gender discrimination, they still seem to be trying to survive and instead fight with in their own way. For these youth the tendency of discrimination must be opposed from within the party because they assume that as a young generation have enough capital to change the future of the party for a better way.

In this reflection article, Mauricio Lazzarato's approaches concerning the logics of difference and politicsof the event are recaptured, in order to emphasize its importance towards the left renewal in Colombia.It is argued that instead of pointing towards a search of unity and political electoral successin the process of left wing's renewal in this country, it can be nourished with youth collective actionexperiences, that since 2011 have deployed alternative forms of organization and relationships in whichcommunication, trust, collaboration and construction of the common have fulfilled a crucial role. ; En el presente artículo de reflexión se retoman los planteamientos de Mauricio Lazzarato en torno a la lógica de la diferencia y la política del acontecimiento para destacar su importancia en el camino hacia la renovación de las izquierdas en Colombia. De igual forma, se argumenta que los procesos de renovación de las izquierdas en este país en lugar de orientarse hacia la búsqueda de la unidad y el éxito en la política electoral, pueden nutrirse de las experiencias de acción colectiva juvenil que desde el año 2011 han desplegado formas de organización y relacionamiento alternativas, en donde la comunicación, la confianza, la colaboración y la construcción de lo común han desempeñado un rol crucial.

Глибинні трансформації сучасного українського суспільства торкаються всіх сфер людського життя, викликаючи різноманітні емоційно-оціночні реакції громадян на соціальні зміни та на власний статус у соціумі. Соціальне самопочуття населення є чинником, урахування якого має велике значення для розвитку всіх суспільних сфер, вибору векторів соціальних перетворень.У статті обґрунтована актуальність дослідження соціального самопочуття студентської молоді у зв'язку з її місцем у соціальній структурі суспільства, викладено методологічні засади дослідження соціального самопочуття студентства як соціальної верстви, висвітлено характеристики студентства у контексті сучасних суспільних трансформацій. Розкрита сутність основних теоретичних підходів до вивчення соціального самопочуття студентської молоді в умовах соціальних змін, висвітлені потреби студентства, які задовольняються у процесі навчання у вищому навчальному закладі, суспільній діяльності та особистісній взаємодії у студентському середовищі.Уточнено сутність понять «соціальне самопочуття», «студентська молодь», «освітні потреби». Охарактеризовано потреби студентства як специфічної верстви, приділено увагу комплексу соціальних потреб студентської молоді, які задовольняються за допомогою інституту освіти. ; Today, when the Ukrainian society is experiencing an extremely severe crisis, the problems that associated with the social well-being of people are very relevant. Social well-being of people is, on the one hand, an indicator of the attitude of people to the situation prevailing in a transformational society, and on the other hand, it is an indicator of the population's social adaptive resources, available under such conditions.The social processes that determine the social well-being of students are of particular importance as students represent the potential intellectual, political, economic, and cultural elite of society. Studying the essence and main features of the social well-being of modern student Youth helps to determine the main dominant processes of society's reforms, to create a theoretical basis for the effective prediction of various social transformations.Studying this issue requires the definition of the theoretical basis and the correct definition of concepts, related to the above-mentioned problem. This determines the choice of the topic of the article. The purpose of the research is to highlight the theoretical aspects of studying of social well-being of students as a specific social group. «Social well-being» consists of two categories («social» and «well-being»). «Social» is viewed as a kind of social life together with economic, political, ethical phenomena, and as something intermediate that exists on the verge of these forms of social life. Under the notion «social», the set of certain features and features of social relations is understood. It is integrated by individuals or communities into the process of joint activity in specific conditions, that shows itself in their relationship, attitude to their place in society, phenomena and processes of social life.The concept of «feeling» means the emotional state of a person, caused by the relation to the surrounding reality (people, their actions, certain phenomena, etc.), and also to the person itself. Social well-being is a concept that includes both physical and psychological well-being, as well as a feeling, how comfortable or uncomfortable each person feels in society. Social health, unlike physical or psychological, depends greatly on the environment in which a person lives, whom he constantly compares himself with and his own achievements. Social feelings, arising in the process of the social interaction, act as a regulator of human behavior and play a role of filter in the perception of new information.The social well-being reflects the generalized emotional and sensory reactions, assessments, thoughts and attitudes of the population of the country both as a whole and individual groups in their relation to various social phenomena, processes and institutions. This indicator makes it possible to identify the most painful and vulnerable points in the social sphere, points that bring a certain threat to the further development of society, act as barriers and brakes on the way of its further progress. Fixation and analysis of such «voltage points» is a prerequisite for timely measures taken by the authorities and non-governmental organizations, aimed at their overcoming.As a generalized productive characteristic of people's adaptation to the modern life conditions, social well-being consists of three components: the internal state of man (health, mood, sense of happiness, optimism); assessment of external conditions (perception of their own state); life in new conditions. Indicators of social well-being are: state of satisfaction by the level and quality of life, social status, the level of social adaptation to new conditions, health status and the nature of factors that caused concern to citizens. The social well-being of a person is determined by the ways of the satisfaction of social needs. These ones are derived from the system of social goods in the society, production and distribution of them. In our opinion, a significant factor that affects the social well-being is the internal reserves of a person (state of health, level of intellectual and cultural development, professional skills, communicative competence, etc.), which are a prerequisite for access to social benefits. The above-mentioned personality's characteristics are formed through the education and upbringing.The main approaches, within which the knowledge about such complex socio-psychological phenomenon as social well-being was originated, filled and improved, are: philosophical, biological, medical, economic, socio-political, socio-psychological and sociological approaches. Studying the social well-being of students requires identification of its features as a social stratum. By their characteristics, contemporary students are quite different from all other segments of the population. First of all, they differ by their ideological formation, mobility of influence and their kinds of needs, that determine their social well-being heavily.Students form the full-fledged and independent socio-cultural community, which, being active due their education and functioning in the system of higher education, acts as an object of such kind of production, the subject of which is not a thing, but a person. Therefore, the main function of this production is educational activity. Student Youth is a very intense projection, a focus group of the future society as a whole. An essential feature of the student, related to his social well-being, is the availability of educational needs.Educational need is such kind of need that arises from the contradiction between the available and the required (desired) level of education and induces the subject to eliminate this contradiction. Educational needs are the complex of social needs of the subject (person, group, society), which are satisfied through the system of education. Educational needs are not identical to needs for knowledge, although they are directly related to it. They relate to such social needs as the need for growth, self-expression, recognition, promotion, and other social needs that characterize the desirable social status.In our opinion, educational needs can be defined as the needs for the formation of those personal qualities that contribute to personal self-realization and the formation of such personal qualities in the field of education, which make it possible to obtain the desired social benefits and to improve the social well-being of the individual. These qualities can be formed by means of education and are as follows: high level of intellectual development; theoretical knowledge and practical skills, necessary for the professional activity; communicative skills and a high level of culture; personal qualities (integrity, work ability, creativity, etc.). Education is a factor which allows forming and accumulating such socially significant qualities in the personal arsenal of individuality that enable people to receive the benefits, satisfy the urgent needs and, thus, to improve their social well-being. ; Глубинные трансформации современного украинского общества касаются всех областей человеческой жизни, вызывая разнообразные эмоционально-оценочные реакции граждан на социальные изменения и на собственный статус в обществе. Социальное самочувствие населения является фактором, который играет большую роль в развитии всех сфер общества, в выборе векторов социальных преобразований. В статье обоснована актуальность исследования социального самочувствия студенческой молодежи в связи с ее местом в социальной структуре общества, изложены методологические основы исследования социального самочувствия студенчества как социальной группы, освещены характеристики студенчества в контексте современных общественных трансформаций. Раскрыта сущность основных теоретических подходов к изучению социального самочувствия студенческой молодежи в условиях социальных изменений, освещены потребности студенчества, которые удовлетворяются в процессе обучения в высшем учебном заведении, общественной деятельности и личностном взаимодействии в студенческой среде.Уточнена сущность понятий «молодежь», «студенческая молодежь», «образовательные потребности». Охарактеризованы потребности студенчества как специфического слоя, уделено внимание комплексу социальных потребностей студенческой молодежи, которые удовлетворяются при помощи института образования.

This article is based on unpublished documents from the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) and is devoted to Leon Trotsky's pre-revolutionary period of life. The author focuses on Trotsky's personality development and dominant character traits, and his relationship with his family. By analysing archival primary sources, not only can we restore the gaps in the biography of one of the most influential and successful figures of the Russian revolutionary movement but follow his "first steps" of psychosocial transformation from a sentimental Marxist romantic into a cruel and cynical Bolshevik leader. The article draws attention to the causes of the complication of Trotsky's (then Leiba Bronstein's) relationship with his parents, and illustrates the height of his romance with his future wife Aleksandra Sokolovskaya. The article includes fragments of letters the young Marxist wrote in prison. Attention is also paid to the history of his escape from exile (with reference to gendarmerie correspondence) and the motivation of his conscious choice between family and political activity. Referring to archival documents (the Petrograd security department), the author reconstructs the "steps" of the political maturation and radicalisation of Trotsky's views between 1902 and 1907. Archival sources, identified by the author, in conjunction with previously published materials, make it possible to supplement the psychological portrait of Trotsky as the father of two daughters who were born in Siberian exile and grew up during his emigration, and were "obscured" for their father by his ideas of a revolutionary coup. ; Статья, основанная на ранее не публиковавшихся документах из Российского государственного архива социально-политической истории (РГАСПИ), посвящена дореволюционному периоду жизни и деятельности Л. Д. Троцкого. Автор акцентирует внимание на личностном становлении Троцкого, формировании доминирующих черт его характера, на взаимоотношениях с родными и близкими. Анализируя архивные первоисточники, можно не только восстановить лакуны в биографии одного из самых влиятельных и успешных деятелей российского революционного движения, но и проследить «первые шаги» психосоциальной трансформации: превращения сентиментального марксиста-романтика в жестокого до цинизма большевистского лидера. В статье обращается внимание на причины осложнения взаимоотношений Л. Д. Троцкого (тогда — Лейбы Бронштейна) с родителями, иллюстрируется разгар романа с будущей женой, Александрой Соколовской, — публикуются фрагменты писем молодого марксиста к ней, написанные в тюрьме. Также внимание уделено истории побега из ссылки (на материалах жандармской переписки) и мотивации осознанного выбора между семьей и политической деятельностью. На основе архивных документов (Петроградского охранного отделения) реконструируются и «ступени» политического взросления, и радикализации взглядов Троцкого между 1902 и 1907 гг. Выявленные автором архивные источники, в совокупности с ранее опубликованными материалами, дают возможность дополнить психологический портрет Троцкого как отца двух дочерей, рожденных в сибирской ссылке, выросших в период, когда он находился в эмиграции, и «заслоненных» от него поглотившей его идеей революционного переворота.

The image "young people are the future" is usually used in the field of political participation to designate a supposed group based on age criteria. The research herein is based on participant observation in two Costa Rican cantons during the first round of the 2018 elections; it was possible to demonstrate that this image is negotiated, attributed and assumed in a relational manner in differentiated environments. In other words, there is no prior environment for political participation in which people considered young decide or not to get involve; on the contrary, it emerges and mutates throughout the political campaign. In the process, the electoral environment; the family and the constitution of the image of young people in the practices, are core categories when analyzing the involvement of this population in the spaces in which they operate. ; La imagen "los jóvenes son el futuro" es empleada habitualmente en el ámbito de la participación política para designar a una supuesta grupalidad considerada a partir de criterios etarios. A partir de la investigación aquí presentada, basada en una observación participante en dos cantones costarricenses durante la primera ronda de las elecciones 2018, se pudo demostrar que dicha imagen es negociada, atribuida y asumida de forma relacional en entornos diferenciados. En otras palabras, no existe un entorno previo de participación política en el cual las personas consideradas jóvenes decidan o no involucrarse; por el contrario, este emerge y muta a lo largo de la campaña política. En el proceso, el ambiente electoral, la familia y la constitución de la imagen de las personas jóvenes en las prácticas son categorías medulares al analizar el involucramiento de esta población en los espacios en que se desenvuelven.

Northern Ireland is emerging from a 30-year local conflict, with new democratic local structures and a new landscape for civic engagement having been established. Community youth workers are well positioned to nurture these new political and civic structures; however, after decades of insular living and thinking, global skills and attitudes are acutely needed. This study gauges the extent to which the international placement of Ulster University (UU) students can help build a population who is "forward- and outward-looking" and how these students' new perspectives, skills and knowledge can be used for and beyond a "new" Northern Ireland. This mixed-methods study explores the impact of international student placements and their effectiveness in fostering "global-ready citizens". Findings from this study suggest that the preparation phase must attend equally to both the fear and the opportunities of internationalisation that face the departing student. The study also points to key elements needed in the preparation of students to develop their role as cultural nesters rather than cultural visitors (in their new context). The study illustrates an alignment between the development of intercultural competence and the vocational competence of the community youth work profession. This natural alignment suggests that community youth work students and professionals could further embrace and extend their intercultural skills abroad and their multicultural competence at home for wider and deeper impact.

The formation of organizations at global, regional and sub-regional levels among nation-states, especially after the World War II in 1945 was to nip n the bud situation that could escalate into war and promote global peace. It was also to promote political, economic and socio-cultural unity and welfare among member states. It was on this premise that the United Nations (UN), organizations of Africa Union (OAU) now AU, Arab League, European Union (EU), etc were formed to promote unity among nation states. The main thrust of this paper was to analyze the implications of agitation by various ethnic groups on national integration and development in Africa. The paper also x-rays the nexus between leadership failure and development in Nigeria. The study was anchore0d on the structural functionalism theory to address agitations and conflict among ethnic groups in Nigeria. This theory recognizes the need for restructuring the political system that will enable each component unit to function effectively for sustainable development. The study relied on much of the data scooped from secondary sources such as textbooks, internet materials, magazines, newspaper, journals etc. The study found out that agitations and conflict among ethnic groups was threat to national integration and development, citing the case of Indigenous people of Biafra popularly known as IPOB, Niger Delta militant, etc. The paper concluded that national integration was the bedrock to peace and national development in Nigeria. It was also recommended that government should desist from the actions and inactions that are threat to national integration and peace. The study recommended that Nigerian government should seriously focus on empowerment and investment in youth, through education, skill acquisition and also implementing policy that will eliminate all forms of agitations. The paper equally recommended adoption of regional government and true Federalism to address the problems of national development.

His article approaches the most relevant of Costa Rican political participation along with the mechanisms to include children and young people in the dynamics of participation and citizenship construction. The theme is studied in the light of a categorical elaboration regarding notions about citizenship and how to apply it to concrete reality through political opportunities and participatory instances provided by the State. The use of the term "participation" in the reports of the 'Estado de los Derechos de la Niñez y la Adolescencia' and in government documents is specifically analyzed. ; Este artículo aborda los aspectos más relevantes de la participación política costarricense junto a los mecanismos para incluir a la infancia y la juventud en dinámicas de participación y construcción de ciudadanía. El tema se estudia a la luz de una elaboración categorial relacionada con la construcción de ciudadanía y cómo aplicarla a la realidad concreta mediante las oportunidades políticas y las instancias participativas que brinda el Estado. Se analiza concretamente el uso del término "participación" en los informes del Estado de los Derechos de la Niñez y la Adolescencia y en documentos gubernamentales.

В работе рассмотрены вопросы трансформации молодежной политики города Москвы с учетом политического развития событий в мире в целом и в Российской Федерации в частности. Особое внимание уделено основным функциям молодежных палат районов города Москвы, а также их влиянию на политическую жизнь молодого населения город и общества. Осуществляется анализ перспектив проводимой городскими властями молодежной политики и дается оценка уже полученным результатам. Рассматривается вопрос вовлечения и интеграции молодых москвичей в социально-политическую практику, что позволяет развивать созидательно-активную деятельность среди молодежи города. Аргументирована позиция о том, что проводимая молодежная политика в столичном регионе Российской Федерации приносит положительные плоды и становится влиятельным фактором в формировании активной гражданской позиции молодежи, повышает правовую культуру молодых москвичей. Автор приходит к выводу об обоюдной заинтересованности молодежи столичного региона страны и властей города Москвы друг в друге, как в краткосрочной, так и долгосрочной перспективе. Что обусловлено приоритетным направлением городских властей в укреплении взаимодействия и сотрудничества между лояльно настроенной молодежью и общественно-политическими структурами города Москвы. А также позволит заручиться поддержкой молодых москвичей на предстоящих выборах в период с 2016 по 2019 годы, как в органы исполнительной, так и в органы законодательной власти города, да и страны в целом. Молодежь же, в свою очередь, получает возможность дополнительного образования, усовершенствования политической грамотности, а также продвижение по социально-политическому лифту, для дальнейшего трудоустройства или деятельности в политической сфере. ; The paper reviews the transformation of the youth policy of Moscow in view of the political developments in the world in general and in the Russian Federation in particular. Special focus is made on the main functions of youth chambers of Moscow districts, as well as on their influence on the political life of the young population of the city and society. The paper analyzes the prospects of the youth policy pursued by the city authorities and provides an assessment of the results already achieved. The work reviews the question of involvement and integration of young Muscovites in the socio-political practice that allows developing constructive and active work among the youth of the city. It is also reasoned that the youth policy carried out in the metropolitan region brings positive results and becomes an influential factor in the formation of an active civil position of the youth, improves the legal culture of young Muscovites. The author comes to the conclusion that there is the mutual interest in each other between young people in the capital region of the country and the Moscow authorities, both in the short and long term. That is caused by a priority of the city authorities to strengthen coordination and cooperation between the loyal youth and socio-political structures of Moscow. Moreover, it also allows enlisting the support of young Muscovites in the upcoming elections in the period from 2016 to 2019, both in the executive and in the legislative power of the city authorities, and the country as a whole. The youth, in turn, gets the opportunity to receive further education, improve political literacy, as well as the promotion of socio-political ladder for further employment or activities in the political sphere.

'Growing Up Queer' explores what it is like being young and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ) in the United States today. Using interviews and ethnographic research conducted at an LGBTQ youth drop-in centre, it shows how young people understand their sexual and gender identities, their interest in queer media, and the role that family plays in their lives. The young people who participated in this research are among the first generation to embrace queer identities as kids and teens, and this text shows how both sexual and gender identities are formed through complicated, ambivalent processes, as opposed to the natural characteristics one is born with

In the four months analysed, the postponement and non-resolution of conflicts by state institutions, in response to citizens' demands on social policy, particularly in the labour, education and social sector, is remarkable. Despite the particular situation of this four-month period, the health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic shows the weak institutional and governance capacity, combined with the serious economic crisis that the country is experiencing. ; En el cuatrimestre analizado, el aplazamiento y no resolución de los conflictos, por parte de las instituciones estatales, frente a las demandas ciudadanas en materia de política social, en especial lo relacionado con el sector laboral, educación y gremial, resulta notable. A pesar de lo particular de este cuatrimestre, por la emergencia sanitaria a causa de la pandemia del COVID-19, se evidencia la débil capacidad institucional y de gobernabilidad, sumada a la grave crisis económica que vive el país.

Based on a participatory research project which involved academics and young people at KCC Live, a community radio station in Merseyside, exploring the 1981 and 2011 riots in Liverpool, UK, this paper argues that co-produced research involving young people and radio provides an under-utilised avenue for research on historical and political geographies. Working together for a year in 2012–13, the academic and non-academic participants produced a radio documentary exploring how and why the 1981 riots in Liverpool occurred, and what we could learn from those historical events to help understand the more recent 2011 riots. Young people's capacities to engage with past events that took place before they were born, in order to reflect on and understand the political present, are seldom explored in research. The research that this paper is based on therefore provides an original and significant contribution to debates on conducting research with young people, in particular developing approaches to thinking through how young people engage with, and make sense of, politics and political activity, especially disruptive or insurgent activities like riots/urban uprisings. As a result, the paper makes an important contribution to work being done on the political capacities of young people; collective histories and memories in young people's understandings of politics, place, and space; and knowledges of urban uprisings. We argue that bringing children's/youth geographies into dialogue with political and historical geographies such as those discussed here is a useful avenue for future research.
