Though children have never been absent from international studies
discourse, they are too often reduced to a few simplistic and
unidimensional framings. This book seeks to recover children’s
agency and to recognise the complex variety of childhoods and the
global issues that affect them. Written by an international list of
contributors from Europe, Africa, North America and Australasia,
chapters present highly nuanced accounts of children and childhoods
across global political time and space split into three broad
sections: imagined childhoods, governed childhoods and lived
childhoods. Through its analysis, the book demonstrates how IR is,
somewhat paradoxically, quite deeply invested in a particular
rendering of childhood as, primarily, a time of innocence,
vulnerability and incapacity.
Provides insights into a lively field of international human rights
politics - the protection of children and their rights - by looking
at the negotiations leading to the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights
of the Child.
