Children's rights in crisis

<p>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.<br>An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.</p>
