Opis

Children and Citizenship offers a contemporary and critical approach to the central debates around notions of children's citizenship. Drawing on different disciplinary perspectives and including contributions by leading scholars in the field, this book makes explicit connections between theoretical approaches, representations of childhood, and the experiences of children themselves, legal instruments, policies, and their implementation. The book contains reflections on the notion of children's citizenship in general as well as in relation to international instruments, in particular the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRe, the case law of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and EU legislation relating to citizenship and children's rights.
