Opis

This ground-breaking volume documents and interprets the many ways contemporary governments and agencies now routinely use various techniques to repress and criminalize political dissent. While the ‘need’ to enhance ‘youth political participation’ is promoted, the cases in this book document how states are using everything from surveillance, summary offences, expulsion from universities, ‘gag laws’ and ‘anti-terror’ legislation, and even imprisonment to repress certain forms of young people’s political activism.
