| Abstract | ||||
| The present study aims to identify the role of the state in youth empowerment in politics and the extent to which Arab Spring Revolutions influenced such empowerment. The present study adopts the Empowerment Theory that is founded on forming a framework for knowledge organization and aims to empower the marginalized and the deprived. We can readily see that youth participation in decision making is increasingly becoming a pressing necessity for public policy makers, as the incessant changes in the general scene makes it a vitality to adopt multiple change schemes over successive periods of time, in order to stabilize the political regime. The main subject matter was discussed in three aspects. On the first, the study attempted to elaborate on the theoretical merits. The second aspect addressed the reality of empowerment and the state role in the empowerment process, while the third aspect explained the challenges facing youth empowerment and the mechanisms of such empowerment in society. The present study concluded to the following findings: 1- Youth empowerment processes would not give their expected fruits without a framework of political trust that allows for founding public policies from which empowerment mechanisms can operate. 2- It is of importance to hold frequent meetings between the officials and the youth in order to build up mutual trust. 3- The present study was fueled mainly by the lack of opportunities for youth to practice and develop leadership, processes and assessment instruments necessary for construction of effective leadership programs. | ||||
