Debates about children's rights not only concern those things that
children have a right to have and to do but also our broader social
and political community, and the moral and political status of the
child within it. This book examines children's rights and
citizenship in the USA, UK and Australia and analyses the policy,
law and sociology that govern the transition from childhood to
adulthood. By examining existing debates on childhood citizenship,
the author pursues the claim that childhood is the most heavily
governed period of a liberal individual's life, and argues that
childhood is an intensely monitored period that involves a
'politics of becoming adult'. Drawing upon case studies from the
USA, the UK and Australia, this concept is used to critically
analyse debates and policy concerning children's citizenship,
criminality, and sexuality. In doing so, the book seeks to uncover
what informs and limits how we think about, talk about, and govern
children's rights in liberal societies. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars of political science, governance,
social policy, ethics, politics of childhood and public policy.
This book examines contemporary Indigenous affairs through
questions of relationality, presenting a range of interdisciplinary
perspectives on the what, who, when, where, and why of
Indigenous-settler relations. It also explores relationality, a key
analytical framework with which to explore Indigenous-settler
relations in terms of what the relational characteristics are; who
steps into these relations and how; the different temporal and
historical moments in which these relations take place and to what
effect; where these relations exist around the world and the
variations they take on in different places; and why these
relations are important for the examination of social and political
life in the 21st century. Its unique approach represents a
deliberate move away from both settler-colonial studies, which
examines historical and present impacts of settler states on
Indigenous peoples, and from postcolonial and decolonial
scholarship, which predominantly focuses on how Indigenous peoples
speak back to the settler state. It explores the issues that
inform, shape, and give social, legal, and political life to
relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, both in
Australia and globally.
