      abstract = {This volume comes at a critical juncture, as global  commitments transition from the Millennium Development  Goals to Sustainable Development Goals and the wider  post-2015 development agenda is being discussed and  debated. In these discussions, children and youth have been  recognized as one of the nine major groups of civil society  whose participation in decision making is essential for  achieving sustainable development. There is also a  concomitant need for action ? innovative, evidence-based  approaches to addressing entrenched global challenges or  "wicked problems" and engaging youth in those efforts.  Within academic discourse, the perspectives and active  participation of youth in research has long been debated.  It is widely believed that their participation can result  in better policy responses and contribute to the  development of more relevant and effective interventions  and programs to address their needs. However, the  engagement of youth in research processes is not without  critique; issues such as how to move from tokenism towards  authentic participation and empowerment have been  critically discussed, and many question if youth can or  should even be expected to make change happen.},
