Axiological And Institutional Factors Of Youth Social Activism In Transformative Societies

Abstract

This study explores the determinants of youth social activism during societal transformation from socio-philosophical and sociological perspectives. By examining the interplay between axiological (value-based) and institutional (structural-legal) factors, the paper analyzes the evolving role of youth as social agents in Uzbekistan and broader transforming societies. The research differentiates between traditional, civic, and emerging digital forms of youth engagement, evaluating how shift in values and institutional frameworks shape civic participation. The study concludes with conceptual and practical recommendations for optimizing institutional environments to align with the intrinsic value systems of contemporary youth
