The tendency of young men to join violent political organisations is a pertinent issue in the global arena of the social sciences and international policy, with studies of youth mobilisation and violence tending to focus on young marginalised men. This article proposes another view of political mobilisation, youths and violence that takes as its point of departure the centre of political power, namely the emerging elite in Bangladesh and young men engaged in youth politics at Dhaka University. Based on an analysis of mobilisation as processes of individual risk manoeuvring, relational aspirations and organisational incorporation, it argues time and time-use are productive analytical lenses to contextualise individual processes of involvement and bring out the agency of mobilisation
