Finnish Youth Research Anthology 1999-2014 is a compilation of peer-reviewed articles in English by youth researchers connected to the Finnish Youth Research Network (FYRN) that have been published over the period 1999 – 2014. The book aims to showcase the achievements of Finland’s vibrant youth research. The anthology brings to fore a concentrated view and a type of documentation of the research conducted by FYRN that is published on international forums. One of the historically distinctive features of Finnish youth research lies in its connection with youth and public policy. A context like this has produced a need for contributions with relevance to academic standards, and practical estimates as well. The book provides an overview of the Finnish youth research system and its fields. It benefits from an abundance of interesting articles from which to choose. The topics in the articles range from life cycle, social worlds and generation; scripts, discourses and narratives on youth; institutions and practices; media and consumption; ethnicity and multiculturalism, and youth work to research approaches and concepts. The book also includes a contextualising introduction.
