Marking the 20th anniversary of the United Nations General
Assembly's adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC), this volume of the ANNALS considers conceptual, legal, and
practical issues related to the realization of children as
citizens. The treatment of children is of vital interest to all who
seek stronger democracy, especially in aging societies that will
necessarily become increasingly dependent on the young. At what age
should children be allowed to vote? How are demographic changes
taking place in American society relevant to advancing the rights
platform for children? What lessons are there to learn from
societies that have secured a legal framework for children's
rights, such as in Brazil? How are democracy and citizenship
strengthened by extending citizenship to children? Using the CRC as
a starting point on the path of achieving functional citizenship
for children, the distinguished contributors provide examples of
empirical research on children's participation in social and
political matters and offer recommendations for conceiving child
citizenship in a multigenerational context in which the voice,
opinions, and energies of children are included and integrated into
society at large.
