Childrens Rights in International Politics

Children of almost any age can break the law, but at what age should children first face the possibility of criminal responsibility for their alleged crimes?

More has been written about children, childhood and children's rights in the last 20 years than in the rest of history. There are more university courses focusing on children now than ever before.

Subjective human rights of children are reasonably fathomed cooperatively by practice, activism and research. Approaches in interdisciplinary learning and teaching in childhood and children’s rights are demonstrated as possibilities for social change through acquiring competencies to think and act children’s rights. This book is dedicated to Manfred Liebel and focuses on his life’s work. He has, throughout his life and work, combined social scientific childhood theories and children’s rights discourses with practical, topical examples of protagonism and agency of children and young people in different national and international contexts.
