Although two decades have passed since the nearly universal ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the realization of children's rights throughout much of the developing world continues to be a significant challenge. This collection of "essays from the field" combines accounts of the experiences and perspectives of marginalized children in ten developing countries with critical assessments of current child rights policies and strategies of intervention. In considering children living in arduous circumstances such as violent conflict, exploitative labor, incarceration, and institutional care, the collection also highlights the possibilities of enhancing the fundamental resiliency of children.

This well-written book offers powerful insights into the dynamics of children's welfare and rights across the world. Children's Rights and International Development is a valuable addition to accounts of how human rights can produce significant changes for vulnerable groups. Brian K.
