Opis

This edited collection critiques from an interdisciplinary perspective the growing body of EU children's rights activities in the light of broader global political, economic, and legal processes. Specifically, it interrogates whether EU intervention effectively responds to what are perceived as global violations of children's rights and the extent to which EU efforts to uphold children's rights complement and reinforce parallel national and international pursuits. Moreover, it scrutinises the compatibility of EU children's rights measures with the principles and provisions enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
