Political triangulations: urban Asian youth politics amidst geopolitical, geoeconomic and geosocial tensions

‘Street citizenship’: informal processes of engaging youth as citizens through research and knowledge exchange in three African cities

“…Outwith Europe, the contextualisation of citizenship can be directly opposed to indigenous understandings of democracy and societal frameworks (Quaynor, 2015;Kubow, 2007). In Asia, for example, youth expressed geopolitical agency in situations of contested citizenship and belonging and resisted the notion of citizenship as subjective and passive (Kallio 2020). In Hong Kong, recent political resistance to mainland China includes "geosocial" resistance (Ibid: 2) where youth engage in localised community activities that are both embedded in and reclaim the city-state space (Lam-Knott 2019).…”

Youth politics in urban Asia: an introduction

“…At the same time, what young people hope to achieve through the kinds of politics performed are also shaped by their realities, and can vary between pragmatism and idealism; some want to partake in existing systems on their own terms while others aim more ambitiously for a massive structural overhaul. The need to view Asian youth politics within its geographical context is best encapsulated by Kallio's (2020) afterword, which triangulates the complex interplay of geoeconomic, geopolitical, and geosocial factors-across multiple scales ranging from the local, regional, national, and even global-involved in the constitution of contemporary urban life and youth politics in the region. Across these papers, authors have shown that cities provide imaginative and practical resources for young people to reconfigure their citizen subjectivities, the power dynamics and their relationships with the city, as well as their imaginings and practices of political possibilities within dominant scripts of urban governance.…”

Methodological aspects of the study of modern geoeconomics processes in the school geography course

“…Besides, another reason is that geopolitics represents the past and geoeconomics represents the future. Considering that today's national economic and political developments are instantly affected by the developments and changes in the world, it is impossible to analyse the data of the whole world geography, such as production, marketing, energy, population, mines, foreign trade, transportation, independently from each other, within the framework of both national and international economic-political relations (Kallio, 2020).…”
