"Anyone interested in understanding youth as a demographic dividend will find this book fascinating. Securitizing Youth provides an excellent overview of key issues raised by the UN’s policy focus on youth that is detailed, informative and accessible. The chapters provide keen insights into important topics ranging from youth engagement in mediating local conflicts to addressing climate change and their role in transitional justice. Marisa Ensor has made a significant contribution to this field of study."
- Melanne Verveer (Director, Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace & Security, and former US Ambassador for Global Women's Issues)
"Today’s super-youthful world features a dispiriting irony: young people at the center of much policy discussion usually are unable to make their own case. Fortunately, the contributors in this important book collectively contrast current policy confusions with dynamic youth on the ground. The result is a timely, foundational book. Strongly recommended."
- Marc Sommers (author of The Outcast Majority: War, Development, and Youth in Africa)
