Vol. 36 · 2011 N°3-4 Afrique et développement: Special Issue on ‘The Ideologies of Youth’ AD

Résumé

Cet article explore comment l’Etat semi-autonome le plus grand de l’Inde, l’état de Jharkhand, développe sa politique de la jeunesse et comment il crée un espace pour permettre aux jeunes de participer dans les proces- sus de prise de décision. A cet effet, l’étude de la position, de l’idéologie et du praxis du gouvernement de l’état démontre qu’il existe un proces- sus intéressant de transmission du pouvoir sociopolitique dans les mains des jeunes à tel enseigne qu’ils sont amenés à soutenir et à protéger l’état. De son côté, le gouvernement fait montre de beaucoup de confiance à l’endroit l’implication des jeunes dans l’implémentation de politiques en faveur d’un programme idéal pour le bien-être du peuple. L’état s’assure que certains bénéfices socioéconomiques parviennent aux jeunes, ce qui assure certainement leur support pour sa notion d’état semi-autonome avec la conviction bien inculquée dans l’esprit des jeunes que le future est dans leurs mains.
