This book rigorously investigates the contemporary state of children's rights and the multifaceted challenges facing children, uncovering the complexities at their core. In 1989, the United Nations introduced the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), ratified by 196 nations, promising a world where children's rights would reign supreme. In practice, however, realising these rights proves intricate and often precarious. Policies may shine on paper, but their implementation grapples with the challenges posed by global governance structures, national strategies, and local factors. Over three decades since the CRC's inception, this book scrutinises the true efficacy of international commitments, shedding light on underexplored issues and revealing shortcomings in both discourse and actions. With diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives, it recognises the profound influence of global and transnational forces in generating outcomes that impact children's rights and welfare.

Industry Reviews

'This multidisciplinary volume is a most welcome addition to the somewhat legalistic knowledge base on children's rights. It is a rare piece of children's rights scholarship that seeks to unearth the complex interface between national and global causes for children's plight in today's world.'
Wouter Vandenhole, University of Antwerp

'This volume is impressive in its depth and breadth. Its multidisciplinary approach, and inclusion of often overlooked geographic regions, provides crucial insights into this topic. An important contribution to children's rights literature.'
Claire Fenton-Glynn, Monash University-Australia
