The process of editing this book has taken three years to complete. The idea for the book arose originally at the Research Committee on Sociology of Youth (RC 34) Boards 19982002 meeting at which both the editors were present and where they agreed to edit the book together. Helena Helve, as RC34 President 20022004, took the main responsibility for the content of the book and commissioned articles for it, many of which were papers presented originally at the RC 34 session on youth research in ISAs World Congress of Sociology held in Brisbane in 2002. The structure of the book and its development was worked out through numerous meetings by the editors held in Helsinki during 2003 and 2004. Gunilla Holm did the major editing of all the chapters, except for chapter two and corresponded over text revisions with the authors. The book was formatted by Helena Helve and her assistant Pia Pietil and included considerable efforts to ensure that the text was up-to-date with relevant notes and references for each chapter.

We thank all the chapter contributors for their work as well as their patience with this book project. We would also like to thank our colleagues and universities for their support with this project and in particular Pia Pietil and Stephanie Higdon for their technical editing. Furthermore, we thank the RC 34 board members in working with us on conceptualizing this book and our editor Mary Savigar at Ashgate for her generous support.
