- Abstract
This paper explores competing explanations of young people's behaviour and their consequent expression in discourses of citizenship and participation. We argue that young people are constructed in particular ways and that those constructions imply different consequences for the way in which citizenship is seen and to what being a citizen might mean. Concepts of citizenship, power and empowerment are critically examined in order to develop an argument about creative participation and democracy, and to consider how alternative 'spaces of participation' might be conceived and enacted.
