摘要

This brief introductory chapter sets the context for this volume. Youth have long been positioned as beneficiaries of peace interventions rather than as architects of knowledge about peace and security. Their expertise—shaped by frontline experiences, grassroots activism, and community leadership—has too often been dismissed as anecdotal rather than recognized as critical knowledge production. This book challenges that exclusion. This introduction outlines the rationale for creating a volume that centres young practitioner-scholars’ insights, and provides an outline of the structure of the book.
