Abstract
Running through the chapters in this book has been an engagement and interrogation of the so-called ‘twin tracks’ of youth studies (Cohen 2003), a conceptual binary of youth culture and youth transitions. While the claims that this divide limits youth studies have a long history, the division is becoming even more difficult to sustain in recent times. This, as it has been collectively shown by the contributing authors, is largely down the shifting nature of youth itself as both a socioeconomic and cultural category.
