Citizenship, Rights and Participation

Redaktion: Baraldi, Claudio; Cockburn, Tom

Beschreibung

Focusing on children's citizenship, participation and rights, this edited collection draws on the work of a number of leading scholars in the sociology of childhood. The contributors explore a range of themes including: tensions between pragmatism and grand theory; revisiting agency/structure debates in the light of children; the challenging of binary thought prevalent in studies around 'generations' and other aspects of sociology; the manifestation of power in time and space; the application of theories into the 'real' world through NGOs, practitioners, policy makers, politicians and empirical research. The collection will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines including childhood studies, sociology, politics and social policy, as well as policy makers and practitioners interested in the citizenship, rights and participation of children.

Rezensionen

"Personally, I approached the book due to my recent scholarly interest in children's rights, especially in a transnational context, as part of my research into the sociology of the family. ... I warmly recommend the present work to all those interested in the topics of citizenship, rights and participation of children, as it provides the reader with the necessary overview required to understand the recent research directions in the field." (Viorela Ducu, Romanian Journal of Population Studies, Vol. 13 (1), 2019)
