Abstract: In this paper I explore the influence of global events on the lives and experiences of young Muslim men living in postdevolution urban Scotland. Expanding upon understandings of scale, I highlight the complex ways that scale is struggled for and over, and in doing so challenge the notion that young people are disengaged from, and apathetic about, mainstream politics. Drawing on the young men's reactions and experiences of the global, nation, state, and local scales following 11 September 2001 and the subsequent war in Iraq, in this paper I include the voices of minority ethnic youth in political geographies and understandings of political participation.
