Millions of children around the world are affected by conflict, and
the enduring aftermath of war in post-conflict societies. This book
reflects on the implications of children's insecurity for
governments and the international humanitarian community by drawing
on original field research in post-conflict Cambodia and in Burma's
eastern conflict zones. The book examines the way that politics and
discourses of security and child protection have further
marginalised rather than enhanced the protection of children. In
Cambodia, threats from trafficking, exploitative labour, and high
levels of domestic and social violence challenge the government and
the international humanitarian community to respond to the new
human security terrain that is the legacy of three decades of
political violence. Burma has endured over 60 years of insurgency
and civil conflict in ethnic minority states, significantly
affecting children who are recruited into armies, killed, maimed or
tortured, and displaced. Analysing the theoretical and practical
challenges faced in addressing children's security in global
politics, the book offers a novel framework for responding to the
politics of protection that is at the heart of this crucial issue.
It is a useful contribution to studies on Asian Politics and
International Relations and Security.
