Responding to security scholars' puzzling dearth of attention to
children and childhoods, the contributors to this volume reveal the
ways in which they not only are already present in security
discourses but are actually indispensable to them and to the
political projects they make possible. From zones of conflict to
everyday life contexts in the (post)industrial Global North,
dominant ideas about childhood work to regulate the constitution of
political subjects whilst variously enabling and foreclosing a wide
range of political possibilities. Whether on the battlefields of
Syria, in the halls of the UN, or the conceptual musings of
disciplinary Security Studies, claims about or ostensibly on behalf
of children are ubiquitous. Recognizing children as engaged
political subjects, however, challenges us to bring a sustained
critical gaze to the discursive and semiotic deployments of
children and childhood in projects not of their making as well as
to the ways in which power circulates through and around them. This
book was originally published as a special issue of Critical
Studies on Security.
