Domesticating Youth : Youth Bulges and their Socio-political Implications in Tajikistan Hardback
by Sophie Roche
Part of the Integration and Conflict Studies series
Hardback
Description
Most of the Muslim societies of the world have entered a demographic transition from high to low fertility, and this process is accompanied by an increase in youth vis-Ã -vis other age groups.
Political scientists and historians have debated whether such a “youth bulge†increases the potential for conflict or whether it represents a chance to accumulate wealth and push forward social and technological developments.
This book introduces the discussion about youth bulge into social anthropology using Tajikistan, a post-Soviet country that experienced civil war in the 1990s, which is in the middle of such a demographic transition.
Sophie Roche develops a social anthropological approach to analyze demographic and political dynamics, and suggests a new way of thinking about social change in youth bulge societies.
