Opis

The Capability Approach, originated by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, offers a justice-based analytical framework for human development. The contributions to the present volume show how the Capability Approach can be applied productively in empirical analyses of the life situations of young people and the educationalinstitutions they attend in different parts of the world, including Serbia, Kosovo, Kenya, India, Greece, and Germany.
