- Pleyers G., Karbach N. 2014, “”, Brussels: Council of Europe. http://pjp-eu.coe.int/documents/1017981/7495153/What+is+youth+participation.pdf/223f7d06-c766-41ea-b03c-38565efa971a The authors develop four interconnected ways to better understand current developments, paradoxes and ways to deal with youth political participation in Europe: 1.
