This book provides a comprehensive account of how child development
and the right to development of children have been understood in
international children's rights law. It argues that any conceptions
of childhood focussed either on children's future as adults, or on
children's lives in the present, overlook the hybridity of
children's lived experiences. The book therefore suggests a new
conception of childhood - namely, 'hybrid childhood' - which
accommodates respect for children's agency and human dignity in the
present, in the process of growth, and in the outcomes of this
process when the child becomes an adult. Consequently, and building
on the capability approach's idea of human development, the book
presents a radical new interpretation of the child's right to
development under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It
offers a comprehensive interpretation of the right to development,
which is one of the four guiding principles of the Convention.
