The field of Children’s Rights Studies is well established and dominated by a top-down approach that considers these rights as objective standards requiring implementation in practice or policy. This book argues for a critical perspective which views the area as contested terrain with conflicting normative foundations and traditions.



The field of Children’s Rights Studies is well established and largely dominated by a top-down approach that considers these rights as objective standards requiring implementation in practice or policy. This book argues for a critical perspective which views the area as contested terrain with conflicting normative foundations and traditions. The collection brings together established and rising scholars whose work has been central to not only challenging mainstream children’s rights discourses, but also providing alternative pathways to conceptualising children’s rights. It moves beyond critiques of these dominant discourses and sets out the emerging paradigm of critical children’s rights studies drawing on contexts in both the Global North and Global South. It proposes new pathways and subjects these to scrutiny, illuminating the importance of contextual situatedness and acknowledging the need to consider researchers’ own positionality when outlining their stance on children’s rights.

Containing both empirical and theoretical scholarship, the book will be an essential resource for students, academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the multidisciplinary areas of Childhood Studies, Children’s Rights Studies and International Human Rights.

The book, Critical Childrens Rights Studies: A Research Companion, thoughtfully brings together contemporary debates on critical approaches to childrens rights, with the goal of deconstructing dominant discourses and offering alternative rights narratives. Whilst questioning binary approaches and discussing scholars own positionality around the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this timely volume highlights the need to combine the theoretical focus of critical childrens rights studies with substantial, practical contributions to children's lives.
