Children and Citizenship

Children and Citizenship offers a contemporary and critical approach to 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, the experiences of children themselves, legal instruments, and policies and their implementation.

Each chapter presents complex issues in an accessible way, helping readers to understand notions of children's citizenship that are embedded in contemporary debates.

Children and Citizenship is an important and timely book and will be invaluable for students, scholars and experts across a wide number of disciplines - including health, social work, childhood studies, youth studies, education and social policy - together with policy-makers and practitioners in allied areas.
