ABSTRACT

Drawing on the post-accord case of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) in the region of Muslim Mindanao, this research examines how far youth’s vertical integration in formal political institutions is influenced by both structural association and youth’s agential capacity. While association with the formal structural elements enables elite youth’s entry into the formal space, the latter’s agential capacity shapes the nature of that inclusion over the long-term. Positive intergenerational collaboration and interdependence between Moro elders and the Moro youth supports this process, although inclusion remains limited to only a minority of the youthful population. New empirical data collected through primary research with the elders and young Moro ministers in the BTA is used to demonstrate the workings of our argument around the importance of intergenerational collaboration and support from the elders, for a wider inclusion of young people’s skills and voices into post-conflict governance institutions.

摘要

借鉴棉兰老穆斯林地区 Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) 达成协议后的案例，本研究考察了青年在正式政治机构中的垂直整合在多大程度上受到结构性协会和青年代理能力的影响。虽然与正式结构元素的关联使精英青年能够进入正式空间，但后者的代理能力塑造了长期包容的性质。摩洛长老和摩洛青年之间积极的代际合作和相互依存支持这一进程，尽管包容仍然仅限于少数年轻人口。
