Childrenâs Rights: Progress and Perspectives
Essays from the International Journal of Children's Rights
Editor:
More has been written about children, childhood and childrenâs rights in the last 20 years than in the rest of history. There are more university courses focusing on children now than ever before.
The International Journal of Childrenâs Rights has been a major player in all this. Its impact is worldwide. It has established itself as the leading journal in the field. The journal is now in its 19th year, and is flourishing. This volume has been compiled not only to commemorate the journalâs work, but also the 20th anniversary of the Convention coming into operation, and of the first World Summit on Children. An anthology of the best articles published in these formative years, this volume offers a representative sample of what the journal has achieved. Some of the articles are ones which are frequently cited, whilst others are less well known; some deal with theory, others with practice. The case for childrenâs rights is to be found throughout this collection, as is the history of childrenâs rights. Some articles are devoted to the UN Convention, others cover a wide selection of issues relating to different childrenâs rights, ranging from children and religion, the relationship between women and children, to children and health, and how children perceive their rights.
