To coincide with the launch of Agora Group Ghana, the next issue of Youth and Democracy will be an African Special Edition that focuses on issues of development, education and politics. As a themed issue, Focus on Africa provides the opportunity for discussion in the areas of democratic development, economic reform, developmental issues, education and society. There is no restriction based upon geographical constraints, rather the aim is to generate debate on issues of relevance in African Nations and to highlight events and development on a wider scale.

This journal provides the opportunity to publish and influence debate on an international level. We welcome submissions on a variety of areas and, as a journal dedicated to providing a platform for student publication, Youth and Democracy can therefore guarantee that all accepted submissions will not be left out for lack of space.

Submission Deadline: June 30 2008

The Agora Group has launched an electronic journal dedicated to providing a forum for student debate and discussion. The journal will enable students to publish their work at a very early stage of their academic careers and will create exposure and awareness of youth opinion.

The inaugural issue of the journal is comprised of conference papers presented for, Democracy, Politics and the Changing Role of Participation: A Youth Perspective held at The University of Nottingham, 13 June 2007.
