There is an important and growing concern about young people's rights, the spaces from which those rights arise, and how those rights are enacted (or not) through space. This book explores the curtailment of young people's spatial and citizenship rights in the face of seemingly free and open neoliberal statehood, and the ways young people push against those curtailments. With an in-depth case study of the Slovenian Izbrisani (literally 'erased') youth from 1992 to the present day, this book considers the spatial effects of the loss of legal status on young people. The case study acts as a springboard to explore more widely the notion of young people 'locked-in-place' and 'out-of-place' in terms of presence, rights, and globalized neo-liberal politics. The final chapter introduces examples from diverse youth movements around the world, highlighting the contexts of social, economic and cultural rights.
