Reseña del libro "Saudi Youth: Policies and Practices"
This edited collection aims at developing a more balanced understanding of the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities associated with youth policy formulation and implementation in Saudi Arabia, specifically in envisaging a post-COVID-19 Kingdom. It does so by considering the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities present in the contemporary Saudi sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociocultural spheres, as well as ways and means by which these can be addressed. Underpinning this is a comprehension of the necessity in understanding 'policy relevance' as related to youth policy formulation and implementation. With regards to Saudi youth policy relevance, relevant policy and decision makers want to be able to prioritize the most important issues. As such, policy and decision makers need 'direction' in terms of policy formulation, policy recommendations and policy implementation - that is, they are often searching for 'policy relevance'. Furthermore, lessons can be learnt from previous youth policy initiatives by asking: Why was this policy successful? If this policy failed, what were the reasons? Did this policy resonate with young nationals? This book unpacks the ways in which 'policy relevance' is particularly important for youth policy development and implementation in Saudi Arabia. It is relevant to policymakers, as well as scholars in Gulf Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies more broadly, as well as those in youth studies, area studies, and social studies.
