While the notion of young people as individuals worthy or capable
of having rights is of relatively recent origin, over the past
several decades there has been a substantial increase in both
social and political commitment to children's rights as well as a
tendency to grant young people some of the rights that were
typically accorded only to adults. In addition, there has been a
noticeable shift in orientation from a focus on children's
protection and provision to an emphasis on children's participation
and self-determination. With contributions from a wide range of
international scholars, the Handbook of Children's Rights brings
together research, theory, and practice from diverse perspectives
on children's rights. This volume constitutes a comprehensive
treatment of critical perspectives concerning children's rights in
their various forms. Its contributions address some of the major
scholarly tensions and policy debates comprising the current
discourse on children's rights, including the best interests of the
child, evolving capacities of the child, states' rights versus
children's rights, rights of children versus parental or family
rights, children as citizens, children's rights versus children's
responsibilities, and balancing protection and participation. In
addition to its multidisciplinary focus, the handbook includes
perspectives from social science domains in which children's rights
scholarship has evolved largely independently due to distinct and
seemingly competing assumptions and disciplinary approaches (e.g.,
childhood studies, developmental psychology, sociology of
childhood, anthropology, and political science). The handbook also
brings together diverse methodological approaches to the study of
children's rights, including both quantitative and qualitative
perspectives, and policy analysis. This comprehensive,
cosmopolitan, and timely volume serves as an important reference
for both scholarly and policy-driven interest in the voices and
perspectives of children and youth.
