“…This contradicts scientific literature on (youth) climate activism (Burciaga and Martinez 2017;O'Brien, Selboe and Hayward 2018). Access to and engagement with democratic institutions is required in order to form 'alternatives that in the long run can threaten vested interests and the status quo in unconventional ways' (O'Brien et al 2018; also see Gencoglu and Yarkin 2019). The ongoing protests of the FridaysForFuture movement worldwide and Greta Thunberg hints at a strong environmentally awareness of young people today.…”

“…The context of youth activism is the hegemonic discourse on climate politics that represents the environmental governance regime that is marked by the enactment of climate skepticism (Ford 2003;Gencoglu and Yarkin 2019). Poortinga et al (2011) find that climate sceptics are typically older individuals, who are politically conservative, hold traditional values and are from lower socio-economic background.…”

“…While an increasing politicization of youth is recognized (Gencoglu and Yarkin 2019), the ageist domination of climate activist youth through media systems is an underresearched phenomenon. Ageism is typically understood as a phenomenon that older adults experience when being represented in derogatory ways in newspapers, twitter and other media platforms cross countries (Coupland and Coupland 1993;Edström 2018;Fraser, Kenyon, Lagacé, Wittich, and Southall 2016;Gendron et al 2016;Kroon et al 2019).…”

“…The interest and commitment to the cause of society and the world, of which the climate protest is an example, contributes to demonstrating the youth's involvement in social and political debate, and their increasing politicisation, and this group also includes students. Furthermore, this demonstrates the sensitivity of youth towards green products, and to not damaging the environment (Gencoglu & Yarkin, 2019). This is the first generation to present both a high level of environmental concern and citizenship.…”

This paper investigates whether generation matters in the intention to buy green and sustainable products and, simultaneously, examines the antecedents of green and sustainable buying behaviour among three different generational cohorts (X, Y, and Z). By doing this, the present paper fills the gap regarding studies addressing the relationships between age and sustainable behaviour which have not included actual green and sustainable buying intention, along with the gap regarding studies only focussing on one or two (X and Y) generational cohorts. Drawing on the generational cohort theory, and by using a survey approach involving three samples of specific generations (X, Y, and Z), as well as by testing several hypotheses through ordinary least squares regression models, the paper finds that: (a) age plays a key role in the choice of green and socially friendly products, and (b) environmental concern and perceived consumer effectiveness are strong antecedents of green and sustainable purchase behaviour for all generational cohorts. This is also true for environmental citizenship, but this only applies to generations Y and Z.Finally, collectivism is only an antecedent of sustainable purchase behaviour for generation Z.

“…This confirms that students become one of the political actors to be reckoned with. Gencoglu & Yarkin (2019) mentioned that the student movement in Turkey became one of the important keys for the opening of the democratization tap. The student movement incorporated in Student Collectives (SC) consistently opposes the government regime which is motivated by a crisis of representation where democracy does not work as it should.…”

This paper discusses the rise of student social movements in response to the presence of a crisis of public legitimacy triggered by the failure of the government to carry out the functions of the state and failure to realize the welfare of society. The climax when the government and the parliament agreed to revise the rules regarding the authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi, KPK) which was considered by many elements of civil society as weakening the KPK. This issue became the dominant discourse and triggered the presence of other issues and demands. The focus of this study is the #GejayanCalling movement initiated by a number of students in Yogyakarta who successfully attracted the sympathy and support of thousands of students and various elements of civil society to take to the streets. This paper uses qualitative research methods with a case study approach. The data collection is done through primary data through interviews with key informants and secondary data through literature studies. The results of the study revealed that the #GejayanCalling movement became massive and significant through the consolidation and political compromise undertaken by students in managing the movement to respond to public unrest marked by a crisis of public legitimacy towards the government. The protest was able to attract thousands of students because of the emphasis on the issue by overriding the role of certain figures, actors or organizations. Emphasis on issues rather than actors becomes an effective strategy in creating shared goals and collective action. Besides that, the use of social media as a repertoire of movements in framing issues is very contributing to strengthen demonstration. Penelitian ini membahas kebangkitan gerakan sosial mahasiswa sebagai tanggapan terhadap adanya krisis legitimasi publik yang dipicu oleh kegagalan pemerintah untuk menjalankan fungsi negara dan kegagalan untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Puncaknya ketika pemerintah dan parlemen sepakat untuk merevisi aturan mengenai kewenangan Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) yang dianggap oleh banyak elemen masyarakat sipil sebagai pelemahan KPK. Masalah ini menjadi wacana dominan dan memicu kehadiran isu dan tuntutan lainnya. Fokus penelitian ini adalah gerakan #GejayanCalling yang diprakarsai oleh sejumlah siswa di Yogyakarta yang berhasil menarik simpati dan dukungan ribuan siswa dan berbagai elemen masyarakat sipil untuk turun ke jalan. Makalah ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui data primer melalui wawancara dengan informan kunci dan data sekunder melalui studi literatur. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa gerakan #GejayanMemanggil menjadi masif dan signifikan melalui konsolidasi dan kompromi politik yang dilakukan oleh siswa dalam mengelola gerakan untuk menanggapi keresahan publik yang ditandai oleh krisis legitimasi publik terhadap pemerintah. Protes ini mampu menarik ribuan siswa karena penekanan pada masalah ini dengan mengesampingkan peran tokoh, aktor atau organisasi tertentu. Penekanan pada masalah daripada aktor menjadi strategi yang efektif dalam menciptakan tujuan bersama dan tindakan kolektif. Selain itu, penggunaan media sosial sebagai repertoar gerakan dalam membingkai isu sangat berkontribusi untuk memperkuat demonstrasi.
